He accused Liz Cheney, his political bête noire, of being a “radical war”. “Let's put her gun in her hand with nine barrels of guns shooting at her. Let's see what she would think. You know, with the guns pointed at her”declared the Republican candidate, evoking the image of a firing squad.
“A disturbed, delusional and dangerous man”
Liz Cheney, who with another elected Republican was part of the parliamentary commission responsible for investigating the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, responded with a message on X. “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten death to those who speak unfavorably of them. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel and unstable man who intends to be a tyrant.”.
Jaime Harrison, chairman of the Democratic Party, also reacted by calling Donald Trump a man “disturbed, delusional and dangerous”.
