Trump made the comments about Cheney during a fireside chat with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday evening, while criticizing Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, for endorsing Harris.
“I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said Thursday.
“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK. Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh, gee, we’ll, let’s send — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.”….

The former president sought to clarify those comments in a Truth Social post.
“All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have ‘the guts’ to fight herself,” Trump posted. “It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’”
“Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought,” Trump continued, referring to former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has endorsed Vice President Harris in the 2024 election.

Update on the Cheney comments by Trump….
The Arizona attorney general’s office said it is investigating former President Trump’s comments about former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as a death threat under state laws, in a statement to The Hill.
“I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws,” Attorney General Kris Mayes told 12NEWS in Phoenix on Friday.
