Liz Cheney has accused Donald Trump of threatening her with “death” amid a row over the former president’s description of guns being pointed at her.
On Thursday, Trump called Ms Cheney a “radical war hawk”, and suggested she might not be as willing to send US troops to fight abroad if she had “nine barrels shooting at her”.
Ms Cheney, who is the daughter of former Republican vice-president Dick Cheney, is backing Kamala Harris and has been one of Trump’s most vocal Republican critics.
“Let’s put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face,” Trump told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a campaign event in Arizona.
In a post on X, Ms Cheney responded: “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death.
