Harris Says Trump’s Comments About Liz Cheney Are ‘Disqualifying’
HuffPost
The GOP nominee for president described a violent scene with guns aimed at his Republican detractor.
Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday that Donald Trump’s recent comments imagining a violent scene with guns aimed at former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney should eliminate him in the race for the White House.
“This must be disqualifying,” she told reporters in Madison, Wisconsin. “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.”
The Democratic nominee for president’s remarks come a day after Trump dreamed up a violent scenario for Cheney, a Republican who’s endorsed Harris and appeared with her on the campaign trail.
“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face,” the Republican presidential nominee told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during an appearance in Arizona.
Trump’s remarks, Harris said Friday, are indicative of how he plans to treat his political opponents if he wins the presidency next week.
