In an escalating war of words, former President Donald Trump has made incendiary suggestions that could further polarize the Republican party. Trump, a key figure in the GOP, shocked many with his statement implying his critic, Liz Cheney, should face violence.

Cheney, who has been a vocal critic of Trump since the January 6 Capitol attack, responded fiercely, calling Trump a 'petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man.' Her comments reflect the deepening rift within the party, as Cheney aligns with bipartisan figures to oppose Trump's influence.

Amid this heated exchange, Trump's campaign claims his remarks were misinterpreted and intended to highlight Cheney's alleged eagerness for conflict. However, critiques from senior political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, underscore the broad alarm over Trump's divisive language.
