Never-Trumpers and some in the establishment media condemned the Harris campaign’s suggestion that former President Donald Trump called for Liz Cheney to be executed.
The condemnation from Trump’s critics underscores the Harris campaign’s desperation to smear Trump before Tuesday’s election.
Rather than speaking about executing Cheney, Trump’s remarks citing Cheney as a war hawk were about the establishment’s willingness to send Americans to die in foreign wars.
“They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying Oh gee, let’s send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemy,” Trump said. “Let’s put Liz Cheney with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.”

Donald Trump’s campaign said Friday even liberals and opponents of the former president are debunking news and social media reports that he called for former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who is campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, to be executed.
“All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have “the guts” to fight herself,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. “It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!’ Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!”
The talk started growing on social media after Trump’s interview Thursday with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in which he called Cheney a “war hawk” and suggested she wouldn’t be willing to send troops into war if she had guns pointed at her.
Trump referred to Cheney as a “radical war hawk” and said, “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,” went viral, but not the rest of the interview.
Cheney weighed in on the controversy in a statement Friday on X.
“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” she said. “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.”
However, a news release from the Trump campaign Friday debunked the controversy and pointed out liberal sources and others who oppose his campaign said the snippet was taken out of context.
