Trump made the comments about Cheney, one of the former presidents biggest Republican critics and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, to former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson at a campaign event in Glendale on Thursday.
Lets put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, Trump said. Lets see how she feels about it.

I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizonas laws, Mayes told 12News.
Im not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasnt, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state, she continued.

Inslee said in a news release on Friday that the activation is a precautionary measure taken in response to incidents in October in which incendiary devices were set off on ballot drop boxes in Vancouver, Washington, and in Portland, Oregon.
He also cited U.S. Department of Homeland Security warnings of threats to election infrastructure during the 2024 election cycle as a reason for the measure. His order activates as many members of the Washington National Guard as determined necessary for up to four days, beginning Monday and ending at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 8.
