Kamala Harris on Friday rebuked Donald Trump's violent remarks about former Rep. Liz Cheney and him seemingly suggesting she have firearms "trained on her face."
"This must be disqualifying," Harris said. "Anyone who wants to be president of the United States who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president."
In Arizona on Thursday, during a conversation with right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson, Trump railed against Cheney as a "radical war hawk" and once again used violent rhetoric about his political opponents: “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, ok? And let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
"Rep. Cheney is a true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party," the vice president said. "Trump is increasingly, however, someone who considers his political opponents the enemy, is permanently out for revenge, and is increasingly unstable and unhinged."
"His enemies list has grown longer, his rhetoric has grown more extreme, and he is even less focused than before on the needs and the concerns and the challenges facing the American people," the Democratic candidate for president said.
"America deserves better than what Donald Trump is offering," Harris declared.
