Arizona attorney general's office probing Trump's violent comments about Liz Cheney
At an event Thursday night, Trump said the former congresswoman wouldn't be a "war hawk" if guns were "trained on her face."
Summary
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced her office is examining whether Donald Trump's recent remarks about former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, made during an event with Tucker Carlson, could qualify as a death threat under Arizona law. Trump suggested that Cheney might reconsider her "war hawk" stance if guns were “trained on her face," prompting Mayes to instruct her criminal division to investigate.
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned Trump’s rhetoric, calling it “disqualifying” and warning of his "increasingly unstable and unhinged" behavior.
"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!’” This from a guy who discusses deploying troops in America against Americans, yet dodged the Vietnam draft with fake medical issues.
I’m too exhausted with this asshole to make a joke about bone spurs.
Can Netflix or whoever cancel America already? It’s getting too fucking repetitive.
Thank fucking Christ he’s old and will be dead soon. That’s all I’m holding onto right now.
Yes, but this election will determine whether he dies while on the White house toilet or a prison toilet.
Did you imagine what could be the country with JD Vance as president if Trump die of old (or fat) age?
I find this even more disturbing than Trump being president.
That is precisely the plan. Vance is a comparatively stable predictable tool. No way he can win re-election on his own, but that won't be necessary after he has a year or two in the white house.
If convicted felons can't vote, how can they run for *any office? How is this happening? In Israel the only thing keeping him out of jail is being in office. What is this here? What am I missing about this timeline?
Liz Cheney had an insanely high percentage of voting with Trump on legislation. Like 95%+. Way way higher than Elise Stefanik, who took her place in house leadership, because Stefanik was loyal on election denial.
It is insane that anyone is fighting over Cheney vs Trump. None of them are good for America.
But there are conservative-leaning never trumpers who have an ounce of moral standards that doesn't let them vote for Trump who is unquestionably worse than Liz Cheney in every way (namely, she didn't try to overthrow democracy on January 6th and continue to peddle the Big Lie).
It is these voters Liz Cheney seeks for Harris and it's clearly scaring the fuck out of Trump lol
Merrick Garland: "Wait, they can do that?"
Lock. Him. Up.
Maybe they should go fight in the wars they start. The sentiment isn't wrong. Who can even claim this is some kind of violent threat with a straight face.
I'm not one to defend Trump...ever...but this one is ridiculous. He was talking about war and whether she would push for war if she had to go into combat. If anything, this investigation plays into Trump's hands.
