CNN Reporter Fact-Checked for False Claim About Trump and Cheney
The Democrat Party and mainstream media pounced all over something that Donald Trump said last week regarding Liz Cheney.
The failed Republican, who is now campaigning for Harris and other Democrats, was the target of a Trump rant.
That rant was misrepresented by Dems and the media, but the media is actually being fact-checked on this one.
Not What He Said
Trump was talking to Tucker Carlson, discussing how we have so many warmongers in Congress, which is what he always stated about Cheney when she was in Congress.
Trump stated, "[Dick Cheney’s] daughter’s 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, okay?
“Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying, ‘Aw gee, well, let’s send ten thousand troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”
Harris jumped all over this, saying that Trump had threatened Cheney’s life, which was clearly not what happened here.
Trump was suggesting that Cheney be put on the front lines of battle, then let’s see how willing she would be to call for troops to be sent into battle.
This led to Arizona’s attorney general announcing that Trump was being investigated for a possible death threat against Cheney.
Then CNN reporter Alayna Treene also claimed on air that Trump had called for Cheney to be executed…
One of CNN’s low-IQ hacks @AlaynaTreene — attempting to recite a lie that even @Snopes debunked — claims President Trump said “we should line Liz Cheney up and shoot barrels at her.”

Her claim is clearly false, as was verified by Breitbart News.
Just remember, Kamala Harris started and repeated this entire narrative, and the mainstream media was more than happy to pile on.
State-run media, my friends… we no longer have a free press, as it has clearly become an operational wing of the Democrat Party.
