At a campaign event with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona, on Thursday, the former president called Cheney a “war hawk.” Both Cheney and her father, former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, have endorsed his opponent, Kamala Harris.

He went on: “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying, ‘Aw, gee, well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”
