Ex-Trump official dogpiled for defending Trump's 'nine barrels' remark toward Liz Cheney

Former Trump administration official Matt Mowers tried to defend former President Donald Trump's remarks that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), one of the most prominent conservatives to back Vice President Kamala Harris, should be put "with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her," arguing he was just criticizing Cheney for not willing to be in the infantry of foreign wars she supported.

His fellow panelists on CNN, Democratic strategist Alencia Johnson and correspondent Jamie Gangel, didn't buy his explanation.
