Former President Donald Trump received considerable backlash from Democrats when he recently implied that Rep. Liz Cheney would not have the “guts” to fight in a war. His comments were seen as a direct attack on Cheney and were perceived negatively. Trump attempted to clarify his statement, saying his comment was meant to say that Cheney would lack the courage or willingness to fight a war, using the ‘rifle’ as a metaphor. However, this clarification did little to quell the negative reaction from Democrats.
