Speaking to a gaggle of reporters in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris echoed the false narrative that Donald Trump suggested RINO ex-Congresswoman Liz Cheney should be shot.
Harris said, “He has increased his violent rhetoric, Donald Trump has, about political opponents. And, in great detail, suggested rifles should be trained on former representative Liz Cheney.”
Wow. Kamala Harris disingenuously continues to take Donald Trump’s statement about Liz Cheney out of context. It’s abhorrent. It’s exactly as JD Vance said, Kamala lies like a toddler. Unashamedly and brazenly.

In a longer video of Kamala’s comments, she added, “This must be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be President of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president. Representative Cheney is a true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party.”
Repeatedly glancing down at her notes, Kamala continued, “Trump is increasingly, however, someone who considers his political opponents the enemy, is permanently out for revenge and is increasingly unstable and unhinged. His enemies list has grown longer, his rhetoric has grown more extreme and he is even less focused than before on the needs and concerns and the challenges facing the American people.”

Meanwhile, the Trump remark in question simply pointed out Cheney is a war hawk who sends Americans to die in wars while refusing to fight in a war herself.
Speaking about former Vice President Dick Cheney while onstage with journalist Tucker Carlson on Thursday, Trump mentioned “his daughter” Liz Cheney, saying she’s “a very dumb individual.”
“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump continued. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying, ‘Oh, gee will. Let’s send ten thousand troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’ But, she’s a stupid person, and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people…”
Instead of accurately reporting that Trump labeled Cheney a war hawk who would never take up arms to defend her country, Democrat politicians, mainstream media anchors and high-profile leftists pushed the false narrative he suggested Cheney be executed by a firing squad.
See Trump’s statement for yourself in the video below:

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
