Former President Donald Trump has intensified his verbal attacks on Liz Cheney, labeling her a “radical war hawk” and suggesting she should be fired upon.
This escalation of violent language comes as Trump campaigns across Arizona, targeting one of his most prominent Republican critics.
During a campaign event in Glendale with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump unleashed a barrage of insults against Cheney, once the third-ranking Republican in House leadership.
He called her “very dumb,” a “stupid person,” and “the moron.” Most alarmingly, Trump suggested that Cheney should be targeted with gunfire, stating:
“She’s a radical war hawk. 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.”
This latest outburst represents an escalation of Trump’s violent rhetoric against political opponents. It comes just days before the election, at a time when public confidence has already been undermined by Trump’s refusal to accept his 2020 loss. In recent weeks, he has also suggested a military crackdown on perceived political enemies he describes as “the enemy within.”

Cheney, who has been vocal in her criticism of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, responded swiftly to Trump’s comments.
She took to social media to denounce the remarks, stating:
“This is how dictators destroy free nations.”
Cheney added:
“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.”
The Trump campaign defended the former president’s remarks, claiming they were justified due to Cheney’s alleged support for military intervention. However, critics argue that such language undermines democratic values and poses a threat to national security.
This heated exchange between Trump and Cheney highlights the deepening divide within the Republican Party and the increasingly divisive nature of American politics ahead of the upcoming election.
As both candidates continue to campaign across crucial swing states, their rhetoric serves as a stark reminder of the intense political climate shaping the country’s future.
