(DC Pundit) – Let’s set the record straight: there’s been a lot of buzz about something Trump supposedly said regarding Liz Cheney. But as usual, the media has it all twisted.
Here’s what really went happened: Trump sat down with Tucker Carlson for a chat, and naturally, Liz Cheney came up. Trump called her out for being a war hawk who’s all too eager to send other people’s kids into battle.
“I don’t blame [Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said, pulling no punches.
Trump used a metaphor to make his point about Cheney’s hawkish stance: “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.”
🚨NEW HOAX ALERT🚨
President Trump was talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America’s sons and daughters to fight in wars despite never being in a war herself.

Now, anyone with half a brain can see he’s not actually calling for her execution. He’s saying, “Hey, it’s easy to talk tough about war when you’re not the one in harm’s way.”
But of course, Cheney and the media couldn’t resist twisting his words. They’re running with this wild claim that Trump wants Cheney executed by firing squad. It’s ridiculous, but hey, that’s par for the course these days.
This is how dictators destroy free nations. 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. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala https://t.co/URH5s929Sa

And wouldn’t you know it, Kamala Harris’s campaign jumped on the bandwagon, spreading this nonsense on social media. It’s like they’re desperate to distract from Joe Biden’s recent gaffe where he called millions of Americans “garbage.”

Watch the full clip of President Trump saying Liz Cheney wants to send people to die in wars that she will never experience herself.
Then look at the headlines the media is writing about it.

Look, you don’t have to be a Trump fan to see what’s going on here. The media loves playing fast and loose with the truth, and politicians are all too happy to run with it.
