UNITED STATES – The words continue to get harsher as the election approaches. While Americans will elect their next president this Tuesday, November 5, violence is escalating further in the campaign. On the evening of Thursday, October 31, Donald Trump increased the insults and threats against Liz Cheney, former Republican Party executive in the House of Representatives, who supported Kamala Harris.
“She is a radical war hawk. Let's put her in front of a gun with nine barrels shooting at her, shall we? »the former president said during a campaign event. “Let's see what she thinks, you know, when the guns are pointed in her face”he added during this exchange with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The Republican candidate also made numerous insults against Liz Cheney, calling her “very stupid”of “stupid person” and of « crétine ». This is not the first time that he has insulted one of his main opponents within the party: at the beginning of October, he wrote on his social network that Liz Cheney is “ with like a balai.”

A warning against “a cruel man”
Donald Trump is in fact particularly annoyed by the former Republican parliamentarian, who joined the Democratic campaign and hopes for the victory of the current vice-president. Not only does Liz Cheney support Kamala Harris, but she even traveled in person to stand by her side during a tour of meetings in three swing states: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. The icing on the cake: his father, Dick Cheney, former vice-president of George W. Bush, did the same.
Faced with Donald Trump's attacks, Liz Cheney did not mince her words and responded this Friday, November 1 on X: “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten with death those who speak out against them.” She concludes: “We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel and unstable man who wants to become a tyrant.” A rhetoric developed for several weeks by the Democratic campaign, which counts anti-Trumpism among its most convincing arguments.
