Trump suggests Liz Cheney be killed by firing squad

Context matters. Thankfully, your clip included it. The word "warhawk". While people in war do sometimes face firing squads, its far more common they face the rifles of their enemy in combat. Which is the context in which he meant it. The oft spoken idea that those who are eager to send soldiers off to war should face the horrors of war themselves.

Its called intellectual honesty. Where you don't ignore obvious stuff that gets in the way of making your point.
Wars, started by old men who know each other, that then send young men who don't know each other, to die!

I'll repeat what everyone else knows - the entire context is clear that warhawks are way too eager to send people into war, but the situation would be very different if THEY actually had to stare down a gun pointed at them. If Liz Cheney had ever fought in a war, she'd be less eager to send others to do it.

These past couple weeks we've heard a President and - an apostrophe - or saying "lock him up" - but he meant "lock him up 'politically' ".

These folks are not STUPID - they are distorting things deliberately to rile up the electorate.
Well except The View - those guys I fully believe are stupid enough to think this.

Much like you did when you said Biden called all Trump supporters garbage liar.

Please feel free to explain what I lied about. It's on video, there are no missing words to add context, IMO. But what do you think makes that not true.


He said the supporters at the MSG rally were garbage liar.

Show me where he said all Trump supporters are garbage.

Trump is also on tape saying that Liz Cheney should be shot but you've already denied that.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with the 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 a nice building saying, oh gee, well let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,” Trump said.

Biden said nothing to limit his comments to only the supporters in the rally.
Biden said 'he' two times, referring to the same 'he' both times, Trump.
The stenographers and the video agree Biden was referring to Trumps supporters, nothing he said limited his qualification of them
None of those things are lies.



AS for what I denied, again, the transcript and video of Trumps words support my point.

"Giver her a rifle, and have her face nine pointing towards her".

Do you normally give people facing a firing squad a rifle? Of course not. What have people wanted for warhawks since the term was invented? For them to know and face the danger of war before deciding to send other people to war. Funny, you liberals used to love calling conservatives warhawks and wanted us to face war ourselves......... But you also used to support things like freedom of speech as well. And govt transparency. So much for the good ol days, eh?
