Dick Cheney’s Funeral Becomes a Political Spectacle as Biden, Harris, and Maddow Take Center Stage While Trump and Vance Are Quietly Sidelined.hd

MS NOW anchor Rachel Maddow, a longtime critic of the late VP, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) were among the mourners, joined by Democratic strategist James Carville, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Vice President Al Gore.

The front pew was populated by former President Joe Biden, ex-first lady Jill Biden, and former Vice President Kamala Harris — along with Bush, who eulogized Cheney, and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Many prominent Republicans also attended, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) — but not House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who frequently clashed with Cheney’s daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

The White House has not offered formal condolences to the Cheney family since his death Nov. 3, and acknowledged that flags were only lowered at the executive mansion because it was required by law.

Liz Cheney, who served as co-chair of the House select committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was among the speakers at the funeral — as was her father’s longtime cardiologist, who recalled his tenacity through health challenges that began with a heart attack at age 37.
