The Kamala Harris campaign, the Drudge Report and credulous media outlets seized on Donald Trump’s statement Thursday night that ex-GOP Rep. Liz Cheney was “a radical war hawk” to falsely accuse the Republican nominee of calling for the former lawmaker’s “execution” by firing squad.
“In case you weren’t up past midnight eastern time,” began a Harris campaign press release Friday morning, “Donald Trump sat down with Tucker Carlson in a late-night town hall where he suggested that Republican Liz Cheney should face a firing squad.”
