Cheney rips Trump ‘death wish’ comments against McConnell: ‘Absolutely despicable, racist attack’
The Hill ^ | October 3, 2022 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 10/03/2022 4:31:22 PM PDT by conservative98

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Monday ripped former President Trump’s recent remarks saying that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has a “death wish,” calling the comments against McConnell and his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, an “absolutely despicable, racist attack.”

Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, warned that Trump’s remarks could incite further violence.

“When you see former President Trump just in the last 24 hours suggesting in a pretty thinly veiled way, using words that that could well cause violence against the Republican leader of the Senate, saying he has a death wish and then, you know, launching an absolutely despicable, racist attack against Secretary Chao, Leader McConnell’s wife, and then you watch the fact that nobody in my party will say that’s unacceptable,” Cheney said during an event at Syracuse University.

“And everybody ought to be asked whether or not that’s acceptable, and everybody ought to be able to say no, that is not acceptable. They ought to be required to say that,” she added.

SHUT UP! Trump did not issue a "death threat" to Mitch. HELLO? The term "death wish" is a FIGURE OF SPEECH, refers to doing something AGAINST ONE'S SELF INTEREST. And calling someone "Coco" is NOT RACIST! Coco Chanel? Wise FRENCH woman. BELOW: news stories using the term. Relax! pic.twitter.com/264XPaYaiB— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) October 2, 2022

McConnell isn’t trying to win......and he is tied to China almost as much as the Big Guy.........

He might not do it in the most gracious way, like Rush Limbaugh, but Trump is rarely if ever wrong about people.

A debilitating case of TDS she has.

It’s not healthy.

She needs some effective treatment meds.

Relax. Levin said it was a very good question.

Good question by President Trump. McConnell is voting for all this Democrat legislation. Or waving it through. Before midterm elections.https://t.co/4hI2QtAzCo— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) October 2, 2022

“Democrats are good. Trump is bad.” That’s what the press serves up every day. Our eeyores here join the crowd and react to the libs’ latest trash. Nobody cares what Trump says about that rodent McConnell except Democrats and eeyores.

What has Trump done exactly to do that? He never surrounded himself with anyone but swampies because he is unlikeable and noone wants to work for him. His personality is a liability and Trump is all about one thing...Trump. I liked some of the things he did as president but the guy is tone deaf when it comes to politics and cannot get out of his own way!!!
