00:00Donald Trump and J.D. Vance snubbed for Dick Cheney's funeral.

00:07Biden and Bush were in attendance for Republican service, along with all other living former vice

00:12presidents. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have been snubbed by not being invited to former

00:18Vice President Dick Cheney's funeral, taking place on Thursday, according to a White House

00:24official familiar with the matter. Cheney, the former U.S. vice president to George W. Bush and

00:30Republican defense hawk who became a fierce critic of the current U.S. president, died earlier this

00:36month at the age of 84. The funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. was

00:43instead packed with old-school Republicans who held power in Cheney's political era. Bush delivered

00:50the eulogy at the 11 a.m. service. But in the front pews was a bipartisan group, former President Joe

00:57Biden, former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dan Quayle, former House Speaker

01:05Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Notable absences included Barack Obama

01:13and Bill Clinton. A spokesperson for Clinton said he had an unavoidable. Scheduling

01:20conflict. In a further twist that perhaps illustrated the degree to which Trump has reshaped the

01:26nation's political landscape and forged unlikely alliances, liberal MS now host Rachel Maddow

01:33made an appearance at the service. Trump's exclusion came as little surprise, given his animosity towards

01:39Cheney's daughter Liz, the former Republican congresswoman who served as the vice chair of the

01:45House Jan. 6 Committee and was deeply critical of Trump's role in the Capitol riot. The committee

01:52leaned in many ways on Liz Cheney's deep Republican ties and her status as the third-ranking House

01:58GOP member for its objective credentials, which so angered Trump that he endorsed her primary

02:04challenger in the 2022 midterms. Both Liz and Dick Cheney, once seen as key members of the Republican

02:12Party, endorsed Harris in the 2024 election, a break that would have been unthinkable when the

02:19elder Cheney served as Bush's second-in-command. Harris lost to Trump last November, giving the

02:25Republican his second term in office. Regarded as one of the most polarizing vice presidents and once

02:31likened to Darth Vader, Cheney died November 3rd of complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular

02:39disease, according to his family. As vice president, Cheney helped direct the U.S. response to the 9-11

02:46terrorist attacks in 2001, muscled through an expansion of secret government surveillance power,

02:52and led the push to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. He started his career in Washington as a 28-year-old

02:59in the Nixon administration, where he served as a special assistant to Donald Rumsfeld. He became the

03:06youngest White House chief of staff at 34 when he replaced Rumsfeld. After he was named defense

03:12secretary. After Gerald Ford lost the 1976 presidential election to Jimmy Carter, Cheney returned to Wyoming

03:20to run for a congressional seat. Cheney spent a decade in the U.S. House, where he rose to being the House

03:28minority whip. Cheney resigned his congressional seat to join the George H.W. Bush administration as

03:34defense secretary and oversaw the U.S. operation in the Persian Gulf War. Cheney was chosen by George

03:42W. Bush to be his running mate for the 2000 election, which they won over incumbent Vice President Al Gore

03:49and Senator Joe Lieberman.
