Another sign of the far-left pro-Kamala Harris media’s panic about tomorrow’s election is the major lie they told about former President Donald Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson.

Subject: Former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Just as former President Barack Hussein Obama reprised the “very fine people” lie, the media claimed that Trump said that Cheney should face a firing squad or otherwise be harmed.

In fact, Trump said no such thing. Complaining that Cheney is a “war hawk,” Trump said the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney wouldn’t be so anxious to send Americans into war if she were to join them.

What Trump Said

Trump’s remarks on Thursday couldn’t have been clearer. Nor could the obvious gist of his remarks been clearer.

“Cheney is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said:

She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? 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, well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.” But she’s a stupid person. … She always wanted to go to war with people.

Cheney, who endorsed Vice President Harris, lied over an edited clip of Trump’s remarks.

“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” she wrote on X. “They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”

But Trump didn’t “threaten Cheney.” Instead, he rightly said she mightn’t be so anxious to send Americans abroad to fight if she had to fight with them. The same is true for the rest of the neoconservative armchair warriors. 

That truth didn’t stop the pro-Harris media from piling on.

The Washington Post offered this headline: “Trump embraces violent rhetoric, suggests Liz Cheney should have guns ‘trained on her face.’”

Trump reiterated the comments later. But, in any event, Reuters published this falsehood in a headline: “Trump suggests Liz Cheney should face firing squad for her foreign policy stance.”

No, he didn’t.

CNN offered this Big Lie over its mendacious take: “Trump says ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should be fired upon in escalation of violent rhetoric against his opponents.”

As well, the hate-Trump network’s Eric Bradner hysterically wrote, “Trump’s suggestion that Cheney should face gunfire represents an escalation of the violent language he has used to target his political foes.”

“Suggesting ‘nine barrels shooting’ at Cheney, Trump reverts to violent rhetoric,” Politico’s headline said over two paragraphs that claimed Trump threatened Cheney and wanted to see her harmed:

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump’s suggestion Thursday that former Rep. Liz Cheney should stand “with nine barrels shooting at her” cast a menacing new shadow over the final days of the presidential race, stoking fresh backlash against the former president’s frequent and increasingly violent threats targeting political opponents.

During a rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Thursday night, Trump referred to Cheney as a “radical war hawk” before suggesting he hoped to see her staring down multiple gun barrels.

Trump’s observation about Cheney was not a “violent threat … suggesting he hoped to see her staring down multiple gun barrels.”

From Rolling Stone, which manufactured the University of Virginia rape hoax, readers learned that “Trump Fantasizes About Guns Pointed at Liz Cheney’s Face.”

Reaction

Far-left Democrats reacted predictably, as did Trump’s supporters, one of whom helpfully published the number of dead in the war that Cheney’s war-hawk father helped start. Almost 5,000 dead in Iraq, with nearly 33,000 wounded, Vince Langman claimed on X. The war also killed about 200,000 Iraqi civilians and 8,000 private contractors.

“Liz Cheney and her Dad have no problem sending thousands of Americans to die in foreign wars that we have no business in,” the inimitable Catturd wrote:  

Of course, they don’t care and stay safe upon their ivory towers, far, far away.

Wrote Nick Searcy:

You are supporting the party that is destroying the lives of American citizens and trying to imprison their political opposition. You send young men and women to die in war and you never pay the price, Liz.

“Remind me again which of these two, @Liz_Cheney or @realDonaldTrump, actually got shot at?” another user wrote:

I think that affords him the right to speak about such things!

Plus NO NEW WARS UNDER TRUMP!

It’s hard to negotiate peace.

Easier to sacrifice other people’s children!

And once again, far-left commentator Bill Maher said the media is lying about Trump’s remarks. 

Cheney on Harris Four Years Ago

Aside from all that, Cheney was an adamant opponent of Harris four years ago.

“Kamala Harris is a radical liberal and supports dangerous policies that would devastate millions of Americans,” she wrote on X over video of an appearance on Fox News. Biden had just picked Harris as his running mate.

Cheney noted that Harris was farther to the left than Vermont socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren:

She is the epitome of a San Francisco liberal. She’s even farther to the left than Barack Obama was. She seems to be farther to the left than Nancy Pelosi is. … [L]ook at what she stands for, what she believes in in terms of raising taxes, in terms of infringing on the Second Amendment, in terms of support for abortion, up until the ninth month and beyond.

Cheney was no conservative, either. Her lifetime rating in The New American’s Freedom Index is 57 percent. 

But through three successive Congresses, her rating has decreased. Her rating in the 115th session was 62 percent. That number declined to 57 percent in the 116th, and then to a woeful 51 percent in the 117th.
