Cheney blasts Trump for ‘war hawk comment’: ‘This is how dictators destroy free nations’

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney criticized former President Donald Trump on X, formerly Twitter, after he called her a “war hawk” and said that guns should be “trained on her face.”

Trump made the comments during an interview with former Fox host Tucker Carlson at an event in Glendale, Arizona. He claimed that she wanted to keep American troops in Syria and Iraq.

“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?,” he said. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

Cheney hit back on Twitter.

“This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Cheney wrote on X with the hashtags #Womenwillnotbesilenced and #VoteKamala.

Trump’s disparaging rhetoric about his political opponents has increased with the Nov. 5 general election approaching. The Cheney comments are the latest. He’s previously labeled his opponents “garbage,” “scum,” and “enemy from within.”

Cheney, one of Trump’s most vocal critics, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and has been campaigning with her in recent weeks.

She was previously the vice chair of the now-dissolved House select committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, and has condemned the former president’s actions on that day.
