Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called former President Trump’s comments about Liz Cheney a “disqualification” and accused him of increasing his “violent rhetoric.”

“He has stepped up his violent rhetoric about political opponents — Donald Trump has done that — and has proposed in detail that guns should be pointed at former Rep. Liz Cheney,” Harris told reporters at a presser after emerging from Air Force Two in Wisconsin had stepped. “This should be disqualifying. Anyone who wants to be president of the United States and uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and not qualified to be president.”

She called Cheney, who has endorsed Harris and campaigned with her, a “true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting his country before party.” However, Trump is increasingly becoming someone who views his political opponents as the enemy and is permanently out for revenge. and becomes increasingly unstable and unhinged.”

Calling Cheney a “radical war hawk” at an event in Arizona on Thursday, Trump said: “Let’s put her out there with a gun and nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see what she thinks about it. the guns are pointed at her face. They’re all war hawks when they sit in a nice building in Washington and say, “Oh, gee, let’s send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies,” but she’s a dumbass. Persoon and I had meetings with many people and she always wanted to make war with people.”

Trump’s comments immediately sparked a backlash on the left, with some clips online not showing the full context of what he said.

Harris told a reporter who asked if she was concerned about Cheney’s safety that she had not spoken to the former Wyoming congresswoman since Trump’s comment was made, “but I know Liz Cheney well enough to know she’s tough is, courageous and has shown himself to be a true patriot at a very difficult time in our country where, to your point, we see this kind of rhetoric that is violent in nature, where we see this kind of spirit coming through in Donald Trump who is so is charged with the desire for revenge and retaliation.”

Trump clarified his Cheney comments on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, writing, “All I say 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. It’s easy for her to talk because she’s far from where the death scenes are happening, but if you put a gun in her hand and make her fight, she’ll say, “No thanks!” Her father decimated the Middle East and other places and became rich because of it. He caused a lot of DEATH, and probably never thought about it. That’s not what we want to run our country!’

Cheney reposted a clip to They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vengeful, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”

She recorded the rushes “#Womenwillnotbesilenced” and “VoteKamala”.
