Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday condemned former President Donald Trump for his remarks about ex-Congresswoman Liz Cheney, calling them “disqualifying” for someone seeking the nation’s highest office.

At an event with Tucker Carlson in Arizona, Trump described Cheney as “a deranged person” and “a radical war hawk.” He went on to suggest a violent scenario involving her: “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,” Trump said.

Addressing reporters, Harris said that Trump has increased his violent rhetoric about political opponents. “In great detail [Trump] suggested rifles should be trained on former Representative Liz Cheney,” Harris noted. “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.”

Arizona authorities have taken note, reportedly examining whether Trump’s remarks could be classified as a death threat under state law.

As the nation braces for a high-stakes election, Trump’s rhetoric sets a dangerous precedent. The question remains: how much responsibility do political figures hold for their words, and where should the line be drawn?
