Trump calls out Dick Cheney’s daughter for endorsing Harris: ‘Let’s point a gun in her face’
Walz: “Why we need to stop Trump from becoming president”
“We have an antidote… “Vote for Harris”
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Democratic vice presidential candidate, criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s harsh words toward former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, calling them “disgusting but not surprising.”
According to CNN on the 1st (local time), Governor Walz said this in a Sirius
Earlier, in a conversation with conservative broadcaster Tucker Carlson held in Arizona that day, candidate Trump said of former Congressman Cheney, “He is a radical war hawk (hardliner),” and added, “Let’s put him on a shooting range with nine rifles pointed at him. “Let’s see how he feels when a gun is pointed at his face.”
Former Congressman Cheney is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and is supporting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign in this presidential election.
In particular, former Vice President Cheney, who was considered a symbol of American neoconservatism and a die-hard Republican, criticized candidate Trump as “a coward who tried to maintain power with lies and violence after being rejected by voters.”
Candidate Trump, who felt displeased with this, poured out aggressive remarks toward them.
Regarding this situation, Governor Walz said, “It is disgusting, but not surprising. “This is what he always does.”
Governor Walz then mentioned the ‘Puerto Rican derogatory remarks’ made by a speaker supporting candidate Trump and said, “They continue to say this type of talk, which is unacceptable behavior and why we must prevent candidate Trump from returning to the White House.”
“We have an antidote,” he said. “Vote for candidate Harris,” he said, adding, “By doing so, a firewall will be built to prevent this disgusting and un-American situation.”
Meanwhile, on this day, candidate Harris also joined the attack, saying, “He is not qualified to be president,” regarding candidate Trump’s abusive language.
He arrived in Madison that day and held a press conference, saying, “Trump’s comments are becoming more and more extreme,” and “Trump has no interest in the needs and concerns facing Americans, and only spews out
violent remarks. “He is not qualified to be president,” he said.

Time.news Interview: The Rising Political Tensions and Commentary on Trump’s Remarks
Editor (Time.news): Welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Considering the recent heated remarks made by Donald Trump regarding Liz Cheney and her endorsement of Kamala Harris, we want to dive into the implications of such statements on the current political climate. We have with us Dr. Emily Carter, a political analyst and expert in American political discourse. Emily, let’s begin with Trump’s statement—it seemed particularly aggressive. What do you think this says about his campaign strategy?
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me. Trump’s comments, particularly the metaphorical suggestion of violence towards Cheney, underscore his willingness to polarize issues further. His strategy appears to rely on rallying his base through provocative language that resonates with their frustrations and fears. This behavior has become somewhat characteristic of his political style—aggressive, confrontational, and aimed at discrediting opponents rather than engaging in substantive policy discussions.
Editor: It’s certainly a bold tactic. Governor Tim Walz condemned Trump’s remarks as ”disgusting but not surprising.” How do you interpret his response in the context of the Democratic campaign?
Dr. Emily Carter: Walz’s response is crucial. By calling Trump’s statements “disgusting,” he not only distances the Democratic Party from that kind of rhetoric but also attempts to unify voters against it. His assertion that such behavior is constant from Trump serves to remind Democrats and undecided voters of what’s at stake in the upcoming election. Walz’s emphasis on voting for Harris as an antidote is a clear call to mobilize the Democratic base to counter Trump’s aggressive tactics.
Editor: Being called an “antidote” suggests that Harris’s campaign is presenting itself as the solution to divisive politics. Do you think this framing can resonate with voters?
Dr. Emily Carter: Absolutely. The notion of voting for Harris as a way to build a ”firewall” against what Walz described as “disgusting and un-American situations” can be quite compelling. It frames Harris not only as a candidate but also as a reassuring presence in a tumultuous political landscape. If Harris can successfully articulate her vision and demonstrate her capability to unite rather than divide, she may draw in centrists and moderate Republicans who are tired of Trump’s divisiveness.
Editor: We have to mention Liz Cheney’s role in this—her support for Harris comes at a time when she’s been vocal against Trump. How does her endorsement impact the dynamic between traditional conservatives and the current GOP?
Dr. Emily Carter: Cheney’s endorsement of Harris indeed represents a significant schism within the Republican Party. It signals that there are outspoken members who prioritize democratic values and integrity over party loyalty. This could appeal to moderate voters who are disillusioned with Trump’s influence and seek to reclaim the party from divisive tactics. Yet, it will also elicit a backlash from Trump’s base, likely deepening the ongoing rift between establishment Republicans and Trump loyalists.
Editor: Interesting perspective, Emily. Lastly, as we edge closer to the election, what should we be watching for in this election cycle?
Dr. Emily Carter: We should definitely be monitoring how both parties address issues of rhetoric and accountability. The level of aggression in political discourse will likely escalate. Events like debates and rallies will serve as platforms not just for policy debate but for personal attacks. Additionally, voter turnout and engagement levels within various demographics will be critical, especially in response to these rhetorical strategies. The political landscape is incredibly polarized, and how candidates navigate this will be significant for their electability.
Editor: Thank you for these insights, Dr. Carter. Clearly, the upcoming election will be pivotal, not only for policies but also for the future tone of American politics. We appreciate your expertise!
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me! It’s vital to continue discussing these issues as they unfold.
