When the enemy meets the enemy: Trump confronts Dick Cheney in the midst of the February riot, when Tucker Carlson met with Bolton
During a conversation with Tucker Carlson in Arizona, Trump launched into a rant against Dick Cheney, who was a member of the committee that investigated the January riot.
Trump said Cheney was a “radical war hawk” who wanted to keep American troops in Iraq and Syria, which he said took the lives of too many young Americans and was too expensive.
“I would like to get her with a rifle and start shooting at her,” Trump said to Carlson. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
“You know they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'”
Trump has frequently talked about revenge and grievances on the campaign trail, describing domestic opponents as “the enemy from within” and suggesting that the military could step in to handle disruptions from his political opponents.
Cheney has been campaigning with Harris because she said she believes Trump is a danger to the country and does not believe in conservative principles.
Trump was critical of his former national security adviser for his moustache during his long answer to Carlson. Although he has not endorsed Harris, Bolton does not plan on supporting Trump.
