Hosts of “Fox & Friends,” Fox News’s flagship morning program, on Friday called out Drudge Report over its framing of former President Trump ripping former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), with a bold headline on its homepage reading “Trump calls for Cheney’s execution.”

During an event Thursday evening with former Fox host Tucker Carlson, Trump called Cheney “a radical war hawk.”

“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine-barrel shooting at her, OK,” Trump said during the campaign event in Arizona. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘oh, gee, we’ll, let’s send — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

The remarks set off a wave of criticism from the Harris campaign and liberal pundits. But “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade said he “totally gets the context” of Trump’s remarks.
