Trump raged at one of his staunch Republican critics, Cheney, while campaigning Thursday night in Arizona. “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” he said during the Glendale event, where he appeared alongside former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“Let’s see how she feels about it, you know when the guns are trained on her face,” the Republican presidential candidate went on before hurtling insults like “very dumb,” “stupid person,” and “moron” at Cheney, who likened Trump's remark to a death threat.

“This is how dictators destroy free nations. 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. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala,” Cheney shared on X along with a clip of Trump's comment.

In addition to the “war hawk” remark, Trump also aimed at Cheney's father Dick Cheney. “And I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” he said of the former vice president.
