"Trump suggests ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should have guns ‘trained on her face’
"The GOP nominee has long vilified the former congresswoman over her criticism of his role in fomenting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Former president Donald Trump appeared to suggest on Thursday that former congresswoman and longtime Trump critic Liz Cheney should be subjected to gunfire as he called her a “war hawk,” saying during a live event with Tucker Carlson, “Let’s see how she feels about it,” with guns “trained on her face” as a target.
Trump went on a tangent about his pardon of Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, and then talked about Liz Cheney — the former vice president’s daughter, who broke with the GOP to denounce Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“His daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said. “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

In my opinion, publicly talking about prominent personalities in this manner, in these times, with the fulsome record of violence by supporters, well........such talk is irresponsible and reckless. It most certainly is not leadership.
Trump has a beef with Liz Cheney over her participation in the J6 Committee. So be it. Have a beef. But don't offer an imprimatur for some Trump Duped & Snookered gun nut to think he has permission to shoot at her.
Seems really really poor judgement and unbelievable obtuseness after the two incidents he experienced himself.
