Former President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Liz Cheney during an interview with Tucker Carlson, labeling the former Wyoming congresswoman as a "deranged person" and a "radical war hawk." When asked if it was "weird to see Liz Cheney running against you with Kamala," Trump responded, "I think it hurts Kamala a lot." He suggested that Cheney opposed him because "she wanted to stay in Iraq" and that "she always wanted to go to war with people." Trump further claimed that "if it were up to her, we'd be at war with fifty different countries" and asserted that Cheney is "all for sending thousands of troops into danger while sitting safely in Washington." He added that she might reconsider her hawkish stance if she faced the reality of war herself, stating she "might not be a 'war hawk' if she had guns pointed at her." Cheney, who has been a vocal critic of Trump, reportedly aims to be the deciding factor against him on Election Day and has responded to his comments.
