Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney responded to former President Donald Trump’s attacks on her in an interview with ABC’s “The View” on Monday, including a comment she made suggesting she should “have guns pointed in his face.”

“He knows what he’s doing,” Cheney said. “He knows it’s a threat intended to intimidate. Obviously, intimidation won’t work.”

Cheney emphasized Trump’s history of violent rhetoric, including how he responded to the Jan. 6 violence.

“For more than three hours, he watched police officers being brutally beaten. They told him the vice president had been evacuated and he said, ‘So what?'” Cheney said. “People ran in and begged him, ‘Tell the mob to leave,’ and he wouldn’t.”

“He knows he has no defense against that level of depravity, and he knows that the American people will never again entrust power to anyone who does something so cruel,” he continued. “And since he can’t respond to that, he tries to change the subject, he tries to threaten. That’s what autocrats do to try to keep their political adversaries silent.”
