Donald J. Trump told Tucker Carlson in Arizona of his violent fantasy about Liz Cheney yesterday, and it was psychotic. The disgraced former President said, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.” Nice, huh?
Well, Arizona’s top prosecutor is investigating whether Trump violated state law by making a “death threat.”
12News reports:
“I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws,” Attorney General Mayes, a first-term Democrat, said during Friday’s taping of “Sunday Square Off.”
“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.”
Trump tried to walk back his violent rhetoric on Truth Social, and it doesn’t make sense.
