Tulsi Gabbard let former President Donald Trump’s words do the talking after she called out the “cowardly” Cheneys.
As exchanges went, Republicans had no trouble arguing that they got the better end of the deal as former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, backed Vice President Kamala Harris while the former Hawaii representative left the Democratic Party and went all-in for Trump.
In showing her support, the U.S. Army Reserve lieutenant colonel took to X Saturday with a video viewed nearly 10 million times in less than a day where she set the record straight on claims the president wanted to see Cheney put in front of a “firing squad.”
“President Trump was absolutely right when he said that Dick and Liz Cheney are always eager to go and waste the precious lives of our brave men and women in uniform — sending them off to go fight in stupid military adventures — and yet they themselves are too cowardly to put themselves in a position where the enemies’ guns are pointed at them, with their lives at risk,” she began.
“So instead, they sit and hide in their ivory towers, without hesitation sending others into harm’s way,” continued Gabbard.

Before playing the a clip of the GOP leader’s actual remarks that left had jumped on to add to their demagoguery, she went on, “So, President Trump speaking this truth is not a threat to anyone. It’s the truth that voters need to know before this election is over. Listen to Trump say it in his own words and make your mind up for yourself.”
“She always wanted to go to war with people,” the president said of Cheney. “She wanted to stay in Syria; I took ’em out. She wanted to stay in Iraq; I took ’em out. I mean, if it were up to her, we’d be in 50 different countries.”
“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face,” said Trump. “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s send 10,000 troops into the mouths of the enemy.’ But she’s a stupid person. And I used to have meetings with a lot of people, and she always wanted to go to war with people.”
While Cheney herself had advanced the narrative that the remarks were “how dictators destroy free nations,” claiming Trump was a “petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Harris had similarly jumped at the chance to malign her rival, seeking any footing in her attempt to advance her career.
“He has increased his violent rhetoric about political opponents — Donald Trump has — and in great detail suggested rifles should be trained on former Rep. Liz Cheney,” the vice president had said while in Wisconsin. “This must be disqualifying. 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.”
For her outspoken support and efforts at exposing the left, Gabbard was lauded as part of the “Greatest political trade in American history…The Uni-Party vs. the Unity party.”
Greatest political trade in American history:

Thank you for Sharing his real message. Think about it. They’re smearing him and taking his words out of context when he was discussing how evil warmongers are….
