Former Rep. Liz Cheney, during an appearance on ABC's "The View" on Monday, said former President Donald Trump's violent rhetoric toward her is a "threat to intimidate" that won't work.

Cheney said while Trump's criticism of her as a "war hawk" is not new, his comments last week suggesting she be put in the line of fire with guns "trained on at her face" is an escalation. "He knows what he's doing," Cheney said after a clip of Trump's remarks were shown. "He knows it's a threat with the intent to intimidate. Obviously, the intimidation won't work."

Cheney went on to suggest Trump is trying to distract from her message on the campaign trail that he is unfit for office after his conduct following his 2020 election loss and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"People were rushing in, pleading with him, tell the mob to leave, and he wouldn't," Cheney said. "And that level of depravity, he knows he has no defense to that and he knows that the American people will not entrust again with power anyone who would do something that cruel."
