At a campaign event in Arizona on Thursday, Donald Trump continued his pattern of using violent rhetoric to attack his political rivals, criticizing former Rep. Liz Cheney’s foreign policy stance and suggesting that he might not be a “war hawk” if “guns are pointed at her face”.

“He’s a radical war hawk,” Trump told former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson on stage, calling Cheney “a very stupid individual.”

“Let’s set her up with a shotgun, nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when guns are pointed in her face,” the Republican presidential candidate said said. “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, well, let’s send — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the enemy’s mouth.’

Trump used more and more cruel and violent rhetoric to attack their opponents in recent weeks, as POLLS show him Kamala Harris too in a dead heat in these elections. La evenimentul de joi, el la numit, de asemenea, pe președintele Joe Biden „un nenorocit prost” și sa referit la Harris drept „un slezebag”.

Trump has promised to use executive office powers to punish and prosecute his political rivals if elected to a second term — a scenario that former federal law enforcement officials and legal experts he told NBC News it would cause chaos and division.

He also singled out Cheney, who has become one of his major targets for vocally criticizing his efforts to steal the 2020 election. In June, Trump shared a image on Truth Social demanding a televised court martial for Cheney.

It has recently campaigned with Harrisurging her fellow anti-Trump Republicans to vote for the Democrat. Her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney – an architect of the Iraq War in the early 2000s — also crossed party lines to support Harris in this election.

The younger Cheney responded to Trump’s remarks early Friday, saying they amounted to a death threat.

“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” she wrote in a post on X. “They threaten death to those who speak out against them. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”
