The unhinged political establishment is taking its latest piece of fake news to unprecedented levels with the Democrat Attorney General of Arizona launching an investigation into a remark made by former President Donald Trump in Glendale, Arizona, Thursday.
Trump had called RINO ex-Congresswoman Liz Cheney a “war hawk” and suggested she should pick up a gun and take part in the wars she supports.
However, mainstream media, Democrat politicians and leftists online are falsely claiming the GOP nominee called for Cheney to be executed by a firing squad.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes told 12NEWS Phoenix on Friday, “I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws. I’m not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn’t, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state.”
Mayes’ spokesperson Richie Taylor confirmed to NBC News that an investigation has been launched.
MSNBC covered the investigation, telling viewers Trump could be charged with a misdemeanor or even a felony.

Conservatives will say Trump was talking about Liz Cheney as a war hawk, and he was.
But conservatives would never, in a million years, accept this as anything other than a threat if a Democrat said the same… pic.twitter.com/dkoOaJfQoK
Trump clarified his statement on Truth Social, writing, “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. 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!”
Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris and dozens of mainstream media outlets also pushed the lie about Trump’s comment.
While everyone who watched the full Trump video clip and read his Truth Social post understands what he meant, the political establishment appears hellbent on lying to the public in order to demonize the GOP nominee and his MAGA base days ahead of the 2024 election.
