Trump: Liz Cheney might not be such a 'war hawk' if she had guns pointed at her

Published November 1, 2024 6:31 AM MST

Former President Donald Trump called former Rep. Liz Cheney a "deranged person" and  "radical war hawk" Thursday, suggesting to Tucker Carlson that she might not be as willing to send troops to fight if she had guns pointed at her.

Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been actively campaigning against Trump in the closing weeks of the presidential race. She has appeared with Vice President Kamala Harris at several campaign events, and her father, the former vice president, has also endorsed Harris over Trump. Cheney has vocally opposed Trump since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, speaks with former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) at a town hall at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on October 21, 2024 in Royal Oak, Michigan. Cheney joined Vice President Harris for stops Mond

During an event in Glendale, Arizona, with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump was asked if it is weird to see Cheney campaign against him.

Trump responded by calling Cheney a "deranged person."

"But the reason she couldn’t stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. If it were up to her we’d be in 50 different countries," Trump said.

After calling Cheney "a very dumb individual," he said: "She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, 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, well let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy," Trump said.

The Harris campaign and Trump critics immediately pounced on the quote.

Asked about the remarks, Trump’s campaign said he "was talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America’s sons and daughters to fight in wars despite never being in a war herself."
