Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) condemned former President Trump’s remarks describing former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as having guns “trained on her face,” saying the comments were “sickening” and “un-American,” but “not surprising.”

“Well, it’s sickening but not surprising. This is exactly what he does… And so when I hear it, yeah, it’s sickening, it’s un-American, but it also just inspires me, and I hope it does a whole bunch of your listeners. This is why they need to go vote,” Walz told Zerlina Maxwell in an interview Friday on SiriusXM.

“This is why we need to put an end to this. This is why we need to get that new way forward that the vice president keeps talking about that is truly American. So it just inspires me to go work more,” Walz added, calling it “unacceptable behavior.”

Walz’s response comes after Trump made the comments about Cheney during a fireside chat with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday. Trump had also criticized her foreign policy and her and former Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Vice President Harris.
