Trump says Liz Cheney wouldn't be a 'war hawk' if 'guns are trained on her face'

Former President Donald Trump — just four days out from Election Day — suggested that Liz Cheney would not be such a "war hawk" if she had guns pointed at her.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — At an on-stage event dominated by extensive rambling and derogatory attacks against his opponents, former President Donald Trump — just four days out from Election Day — suggested that one of his top Republican critics would not be such a "war hawk" if she had guns "trained on her face."

Trump, sitting in a chair next to right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson for what was billed as a live interview event, told an arena of thousands of supporters Thursday that President Joe Biden was a “stupid bastard” and his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, was “a sleaze bag.”

He also said that he would let Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, “do anything he wants” in his second administration related to healthcare policy, noting that his newfound political ally “wants to look at the vaccines.”

“He really wants to with the pesticides and the, you know, all the different things. I said, he can do it,” Trump said of the former independent presidential candidate. “He can do anything he wants. He wants to look at the vaccines. He wants — everything. I think it’s great,” Trump continued.
