(WASHNIGTON) — Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is firing back at Donald Trump after the former president darkly suggested Cheney be put in the line of fire as he criticized her as a “war hawk.”<\/p>\n

“This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death,” Cheney posted Friday on X. “We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”<\/p>\n

Trump attacked Cheney at an event with Tucker Carlson in battleground Arizona on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said of the former Wyoming congresswoman as he went after her and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n

“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay?” Trump said. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”<\/p>\n

Trump continued, “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send a — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'”<\/p>\n

The Harris campaign called Trump saying “nine barrels” a reference to a traditional nine-gun “firing squad.”<\/p>\n

Cheney, a Republican but a vocal critic of Trump over his behavior after the 2020 election and on Jan. 6, 2021, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

While campaigning alongside Harris, Cheney cast Trump as a danger to democracy and the Constitution.<\/p>\n

“We see it on a daily basis, somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power, someone who represents unrecoverable catastrophe, frankly, in my view, and we have to do everything possible to ensure that he’s not reelected,” Cheney told ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week” earlier this fall after publicly backing Harris.<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks against Cheney are the latest in a string of\u00a0increasingly dark<\/a>\u00a0and violent campaign rhetoric.<\/p>\n

The former president doubled down on his “enemy from within” language after he\u00a0previously suggested<\/a>\u00a0Democrats are more of a threat to the U.S. than top foreign adversaries such as China and Russia when it comes to the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

“We do have an enemy from within,” he told Carlson on Thursday. “We have some very bad people, and those people are also very dangerous. They would like to take down our country. They’d like to have our country be a nice communist country or a fascist in any way they can. And we have to be careful of that.”<\/p>\n

Harris campaign senior adviser Ian Sams responded to Trump’s comments during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday, during which he called the former president “all-consumed by his grievances.”<\/p>\n

“I mean, think about the contrast between these two candidates,” Sams said. “You have Donald Trump who is talking about sending a prominent Republican to the firing squad, and you have Vice President Harris talking about sending one to her Cabinet. This is the difference in this race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s spokesperson, claimed on Friday Trump’s words were being taken out of context.<\/p>\n

“President 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,” Leavitt wrote on X.<\/p>\n
