Trump and Vance not invited to Cheney’s funeral


Trump and Vance excluded from Cheney’s funeral

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will not attend former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral Thursday, as they were not invited. 

Former President George W. Bush, former President Joe Biden, and all living former vice presidents will attend the funeral. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama will not attend.

Speakers at the funeral will include Bush, with whom Cheney served in the White House from 2001 to 2009, and Cheney’s daughter, former congresswoman Liz Cheney.

The elder Cheney long disliked Trump for repeatedly criticizing his daughter for her conduct during the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots

“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a 2022 campaign ad for his daughter. 

Cheney added, “He is a coward. A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters. He lost his election, and he lost big. I know it. He knows it, and deep down, I think most Republicans know.”

He also said he would vote for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 elections, which prompted Trump to call him “an irrelevant RINO,” short for Republican in name only, on Truth Social.

Other prominent political figures expected to be in attendance include House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Elena Kagan.
