CNN —Donald Trump said former Rep. Liz Cheney is a “war hawk” who should be sent into the line of fire, as he raged against one of his most prominent intra-party critics while campaigning Thursday night in Arizona.
Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” Trump said.
She played a leading role on the House select committee that investigated the attack, and later was ousted from her deep-red Wyoming House seat by a Trump-backed primary opponent in 2022.
In recent weeks, Cheney has campaigned alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, urging Republicans to set aside party differences to back the Democrat and reject a candidate she says poses a threat to democracy.
“I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter’s a very dumb individual — very dumb,” Trump said.
