Former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney has suggested a reelected Donald Trump, “not subject to the rule of law,” would have political opponents killed, as Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was allegedly killed in Russia.
“When you think about Donald Trump, for example, pledging retribution, what Vladimir Putin did to Navalny is what retribution looks like in a country where the leader is not subject to the rule of law,” she told CNN’s Jake Tapper, adding: “I think that we have to take Donald Trump very seriously.”
Navalny reportedly collapsed and died while exercising at the Arctic penal colony where he was being held prisoner last week. The official explanation for his death is said to be undetermined, although Putin’s detractors in the West insist he had the 47-year-old killed.
Cheney, daughter of Iraq War criminal Dick Cheney, also urged Speaker Mike Johnson to pass a massive new aid package to fund Volodymyr Zelensky’s government and armed forces in Ukraine, even if it means throwing away the Speakership.
