Dick Cheney was, at one time, the most hated man in America. “Darth Cheney”, and “The Prince of Darkness”, were just two of the printable nicknames the left came up with for the former George Bush vice president.
“Dick Cheney Should Be in Jail, Not Praised as a Hero by Democrats”, wrote Chip Gibbon in the radical left Jacobin.
“He is most remembered for his role in promoting the Iraq War, an illegal war of aggression predicated on lies, as well as pushing the nation to the “dark side” after 9/11, which included torture, detention without trial (including of US citizens), warrantless surveillance, and other egregious departures from liberal norms of democracy.” Gibbons writes.
Cheney will be remembered for a lot of things but “pushing the nation to the ‘dark side'” isn’t one of them. There was a guy sitting in the White House who, despite the left’s ludicrous belief that Cheney ran the country during George Bush’s presidency, had the final say on war and peace.
Most recently, Cheney endorsed a Democrat for president. His endorsement of Kamala Harris follows that of his daughter, former Congresswoman and 9/11 Committee member Lynn Cheney.

Naturally, this didn’t please Donald Trump.
“He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris,” the former president wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. “I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!”
“Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races.
