(AP) \u2014 Donald Trump is calling&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-election-2024-gop-c584f9860260f48ddff90ab2dca0433a\">former Rep. Liz Cheney<\/a>, one of his most prominent Republican critics, a \u201cwar hawk\u201d and suggesting she might not be as willing to send troops to fight if she had guns pointed at her. Cheney responded by branding the GOP presidential nominee a \u201ccruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At an event late Thursday in Arizona, with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump was asked whether it is strange to see Cheney campaign against him. The former Wyoming congressman has vocally opposed Trump since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and has endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris in the White House race, joining the vice president at recent stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump called Cheney \u201ca deranged person\u201d and added, \u201cBut the reason she couldn\u2019t stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. If it were up to her we\u2019d be in 50 different countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former president continued: \u201cShe\u2019s a radical war hawk. Let\u2019s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let\u2019s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know they\u2019re all war hawks when they\u2019re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh gee, well let\u2019s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheney responded Friday in a post on X: \u201cThis is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, after Harris\u2019 campaign and other Trump critics on social media had pounced on his comment, Trump\u2019s campaign said he \u201cwas talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America\u2019s sons and daughters to fight in wars despite never being in a war herself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLENDALE, Ariz.
