Suggesting ‘nine barrels shooting’ at Cheney, Trump reverts to violent rhetoric

Politico  

In a statement defending his remarks, campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump was “clearly explaining that warmongers like Liz Cheney are very quick to start wars and send other Americans to fight them, rather than go into combat themselves.” Trump’s language evoked the image of a critic of the former president being threatened with execution — the latest instance of the GOP nominee suggesting violence against a political foe. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.” Condemnation of Trump’s remarks flowed in on Friday morning, capping an extraordinary final full week in the presidential race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, which started last Sunday with a Trump rally in Madison Square Garden featuring vulgar, racist and sexist speeches, stirring outrage from the Puerto Rican community in particular. Days after the MSG rally, a gaffe from President Joe Biden calling Trump’s supporters “garbage” left the White House scrambling to clean up his remarks and prompted both Harris and her running mate Gov. “Now, he’s going after Liz Cheney with this dangerous, violent rhetoric.” Former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin called on Republican members of Congress to denounce Trump’s language, which she called “unpresidential” and “reckless.” “It’s unconscionable,” she said on CNN.
