Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney has responded to comments made about her by Donald Trump calling him a “petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant”.
Trump had been disparaging about former vice-president Dick Cheney and his daughter at an event in Arizona yesterday. Both are ardent Trump critics and have endorsed Kamala Harris.
Trump said: “I don’t blame [Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but [Liz Cheney] is a very dumb individual, very dumb. She’s a radical war hawk.
“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her… 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’. But she’s a stupid person.”
In her post on X, Liz Cheney retorted: “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death.”
