Trump’s Rally Remarks Spark Calls for Arrest Over Threats Against Liz Cheney
During a rally in Glendale, Arizona, Donald Trump made a controversial remark suggesting that supporters should surround Liz Cheney with firearms. This statement has led a former White House official to demand Trump’s arrest for allegedly breaching the terms of his bail.
At the rally, Trump disparaged Cheney, calling her “a very dumb individual,” and went on to label her as “a radical war hawk.” He provocatively suggested, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face,” while sharing the stage with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The comments quickly spread across social media platform X, prompting Anthony Scaramucci, who previously served as the White House Director of Communications under Trump, to call for his arrest. Scaramucci tweeted, “Trump should be taken into custody. He is a convicted felon and just violated the conditions of his bail agreement by threatening someone’s life. He needs to be sent away.”
Both Cheney and Scaramucci are among a group of former Republican officials who have publicly supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump’s sentencing has been delayed until November 26 after he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records earlier this year. He remains out on bond after posting $175 million in cash with an insurance company, as reported by CBS News.
