Dem AG to probe Trump over ‘possible death threat’ to Cheney in latest lawfare op

November 2, 2024 | | Print Article

The corporate propaganda media’s latest hoax has inspired Democrats to launch yet another lawfare blitz against former President Donald Trump.

The latest blitz comes courtesy of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a leftist who has placed Trump under investigation because of the media’s blatantly false claim that he’d issued a “death threat” against disgraced former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.

The alleged threat was made Thursday, when, while speaking at an event in Arizona, Trump used descriptive language to suggest that Cheney wouldn’t be such a war-hungry neocon if she were forced to fight on the battlefield alongside other soldiers.

“I don’t blame [former Vice President Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual,” he began. “Very dumb, 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. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in the nice buildings saying ‘Oh gee well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,’” he added.

In response to his remarks, virtually the entire corporate propaganda media rushed to report that he’d called for Cheney’s murder.

“Trump Calls For Cheney’s Execution,” a headline at the Drudge Report read.

“Trump Attacks Liz Cheney Using Violent War Imagery,” a headline from The New York Times read.

“Trump suggests ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should have guns ‘trained on her face,’” a headline from The Washington Post read.

“Former President Donald Trump is escalating his violent rhetoric, suggesting one of his most prominent critics, the former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, should be fired upon,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt told viewers.

MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire, meanwhile, called it “the latest escalation of really dangerous, violent rhetoric,” and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie claimed it “absolutely” was a threat to kill Cheney.

Even Cheney, a known fabulist, got in on the hoax:

But it was all a lie — one Mayes has either fallen for hook, line, and sinker or is purposefully propagating for political purposes.

“I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement [what Trump said], analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws,” she told reporters on Friday.

“I’m not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn’t, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state,” she added.

The remarks prompted an outpouring of criticism on social media.
