Mourners attend funeral for Vice President Cheney

From NPR.

Mourners, including two former presidents, gathered inside Washington National Cathedral on Thursday for former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral.

Former President George W. Bush was among the mourners who eulogized the man who served as his vice president.

Cheney served in many roles in Washington, including as a member of Congress, White House chief of staff and as defense secretary in the George H.W. Bush administration. Cheney then served as vice president under George W. Bush for two terms. Cheney was a chief architect of Bush’s War on Terror post 9-11, which led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

In his later years, Cheney was still a hardline conservative but did not support President Trump, whom Cheney described as the greatest individual threat to our republic. Neither Trump nor Vice President JD Vance was in attendance.
