Trump Campaign Responds to 'Fake News Media's Latest Hoax'

The Trump campaign defended comments the Republican presidential nominee 

made on Thursday about former Rep. Liz Cheney, which the "fake news media" 

are taking out of context.

During an event in Arizona, Trump argued warmongers like Cheney are quick 

to enter conflicts, sending Americans off to battle with little if any regard for 

the price many service members will pay, including making the ultimate sacrifice.

Trump suggested the decision is easy when you’re not the one directly entering 

the conflict.

"She's a radical war hawk," the former president told Tucker Carlson. "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, 'Oh, gee, we'll— let's send, let's send 10,000 troops right 

into the mouth of the enemy.'"

“The press has been disgracefully covering these remarks by saying that 

President Trump suggested that Liz Cheney should be put in front of a ‘firing 

squad,’” the campaign said on Friday about the "Fake News Media's 

Latest Hoax."

“Are these reporters malicious or dumb? President Trump was clearly describing

 a combat zone," the statement continued.

“Liz Cheney and Kamala Harris, if elected, would continue to plunge the 

U.S. deeper into war leading to World War 3 and allow innocent men 

and women to die in that conflict,” the statement added.

Cheney likened Trump’s remark to a death threat.
