Liz Cheney Reacts to Call to Shoot Guns in Donald Trump’s Face (VIDEO)

On the eve of the 2024 presidential election, as candidates rush to the remaining swing states to deliver their campaign closing messages. Appearance Hosted former Congressman Liz Cheneywho was a very outspoken Republican throughout his life. Donald Trump critic to the table to talk about and support the approval decision. Kamala Harris.

But the first question the panelists asked him was how he reacted in that moment. Embers stated Let’s see how Cheney “feels about that when he gets nine barrels shot at him (and) the guns are pointed in his face.”

After releasing the clip and offering her explanation for the quote (saying she was merely criticizing him for being a “war hawk”), Cheney weighed in on the highly controversial clip.

“He’s said this nonsense about the ‘war hawk’ before, but he’s never done what he did a few days ago and took the step of saying ‘nine rifles shot him in the face.’ And he knows what he’s doing. He knows it’s a threat meant to intimidate. Frankly, intimidation will not work.”

Cheney said he thought this was a diversionary tactic to distract from the work of the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6. “He watched television during the attack on our capitol,” he explained. “For more than three hours he watched police officers being brutally beaten, was told the vice president had been released, and said, ‘So what?’ He said… He knows he has no defense against this, and he knows the American people won’t do it. Give power back to anyone who would do such a cruel thing. When he can’t answer this, he tries to change the subject. “He tries to threaten, and that’s what autocrats do to silence their political rivals.”

Elsewhere in the episode, another Republican, former Trump administration official Alyssa Farah Griffinreleased his latest argument for why voters shouldn’t elect his former boss, calling him “the most dangerous man to ever hold the American presidency.”
