The Hill reports:
Former Vice President Dick Cheney accompanied his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to the Capitol for events marking anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and expressed disappointment with GOP leadership.
“It’s not a leadership that resembles any of the folks I knew when I was here for 10 years,” Dick Cheney told reporters after exiting the House floor following a moment of silence in recognition of Jan. 6.
“I’m deeply disappointed we don’t have better leadership in the Republican party to restore the Constitution,” he told ABC News earlier Thursday.

Sorry, no, no no, Dick Cheney is the worst of the worst, and is responsible for more deaths abroad than Trump is at home.
Also, Dick Cheney backed Trump for president in 2016 and for re-election in 2020:https://t.co/ju2u6OHHZj https://t.co/eTMOVPCmeA

Dick Cheney is a war criminal who shot a man in the face, and he still has more honor & integrity than 98% of the Republican Party.
He’s also not a traitor.
