Trump's criticism of Liz Cheney as a “radical war hawk” is portrayed by the media as a call to violence

Liberal media outlets have been accused of taking former President Trump out of context by claiming he was calling for violence against former House Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., when in reality he was mocking her as someone who Conveniences out on war pushes Washington, DC

The Drudge Report's front-page headline on Friday morning read, in red capital letters, “TRUMP CALLS FOR EXECUTION OF CHENEY,” linking to a social media post by far-left commentator Aaron Rupar that included a segment of the former president's event in Glendale, Arizona showed on Thursday.

“I don't blame him for holding on to his daughter, but his daughter is a very stupid person the way she feels about this. You know, when the guns are pointed at their face,” Trump is heard saying in the clip, which set the tone for Friday morning shows on MSNBC and CNN.

However, many felt the post was intentionally interrupted 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 sit in a nice building in Washington and say, 'Oh man, let's put 10,000 soldiers in their mouths.' '“Enemies.” “She always wanted to go to war with people,” Hemingway wrote.

In fact, following the short clip shared by Rupar, Trump's comments were cut short before the former president finished his thought.

“She is a radical war hawk. Let's pose her with a gun that shoots her with 9 barrels, shall we? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are pointed at their faces. They're all war hawks.” When they sit in Washington in a nice building and say, “Oh man, let's send 10,000 soldiers into the mouths of the enemy,” but she's a stupid person and I used to have meetings with a lot of people, and “That’s what she always wanted to do, to go to war against people,” Trump said.
