Nov 1, 2024, 06:50 PM

Vice President Kamala Harris has accused former President Donald Trump of increasing violent rhetoric, specifically suggesting that rifles should be trained on former Representative Liz Cheney. Harris stated that such rhetoric must be disqualifying for a presidential candidate. She emphasized that this kind of violent rhetoric is laden with the desire for revenge and retribution. Trump's comments have been widely criticized and labeled as false by his supporters, who argue that he did not call for violence against Cheney. The controversy has intensified as both Harris and Trump campaign across battleground states in the final days before the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
