Trump's War Hawk Taunt Twisted into Assassination Plot by Liberal Outlets

Liberal media outlets have been accused of taking former President Trump out of context to claim he was calling for violence against former House Rep.

Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., when he was actually mocking her as someone who pushes for war from the comforts of Washington, D.C.

Drudge Report’s front-page headline on Friday morning declared in red font with all caps, "TRUMP CALLS FOR CHENEY’S EXECUTION," and linked to a social media post from far-left commentator Aaron Rupar that showed a partial clip from the former president’s Glendale, Arizona, event on Thursday.

"I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual. Very dumb, she’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face," Trump is heard saying in the clip that set the tone for MSNBC and CNN’s Friday morning programming.

But many felt it was purposely cut off before Trump’s anti-war message, and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway quickly responded to Rupar’s clip.

"Wow, I’m so shocked that propagandist Rupar cut it off before this line: ‘They're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying ‘Oh gee, let's send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemies.' She always wanted to go to war with people,’" Hemingway wrote.

Indeed, Trump’s comments…   following the brief clip shared by Rupar was cut off before the former president finished his thought.

"She’s a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face. 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 into the mouths of the enemies,’ but she’s a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people," Trump said.

Rupar is a widely followed, frequent poster on X, and is also a rabid supporter of Democrats.

"FOX & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade called it "totally irresponsible" to suggest that Trump was calling for Cheney’s execution.

Kilmeade said he saw the full clip and didn’t feel the comments were even particularly newsworthy, as it was simply Trump suggesting he’s against sending Americans to war.
