“He is a very stupid person, very stupid. It’s a falcon of radical war. Let’s leave her there with a rifle and nine guns shooting at her. Let’s see what it feels like, you know, to have guns pointed in your face. With this bellicose and violent rhetoric, former President Donald Trump and Republican candidate for the White House attacked Thursday evening former Republican MP Liz Cheney, daughter of George W. Bush’s former vice-president, during an interview with one of its top reporters, Tucker Carlson.
During his interview in Glendale, Arizona, with the former Fox News host, Trump made personal attacks against Cheney, who is campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris. And when asked about his foreign policy stance, the former president suggested Liz Cheney be placed in a war zone.
“He’s a radical war hawk,” Trump told thousands of people at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, the New York Times reports. “Let’s leave her standing with a gun and nine guns shooting at her. Let’s see what you think. You know, when guns are pointed in his face.
Trump expresses contempt for those in Washington who want the United States involved in foreign conflicts. “You know, they’re all war hawks sitting in Washington in a nice building and saying, ‘Oh, wow, well, let’s send, let’s send 10,000 troops against the enemy.'”
Liz Cheney responded this Friday morning: “This is how dictators destroy free nations. »
Trump’s violent rhetoric comes as he makes more threatening remarks against his political opponents. The former president, whose lie about 2020 electoral theft incited some of his supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6, 2021, spoke again this Thursday of an “enemy within” that must be faced.
On other occasions, she spoke of “vermin” that must be eradicated: Cheney was the ranking Republican on the House committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Capitol riots.
“President Trump has made clear that warmongers like Liz Cheney are very quick to start wars and send other Americans to fight in them, rather than fighting themselves,” the spokesperson said. of Trump, Karoline Leavitt. in a statement cited by the Washington Posta newspaper that reminds us that Trump was never sent to a war zone. He was excused from military service during the Vietnam War because he claimed to have a diagnosis of bone spurs.
Trump on Thursday also attacked several prominent Republicans who had criticized him, capping one of his final days of campaigning with an event that seemed aimed at his base rather than undecided voters. For example, former President Donald Trump called his former national security adviser John Bolton “crazy” and an “idiot.” And he added. “I could see his face going red, red, red, with this stupid white mustache, and he was ready to explode,” Trump said. “When Kim Jong Un saw it, he said, ‘Oh, shit.’ I think this guy wants to go to war, so it was great for me to negotiate.
