Tragic reports have confirmed the death of former US Vice President at the age of 84.
The heartbreaking news was shared by his loved ones. Cheney was a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq and was famous for being a head-changing conservative. He passed away last night after suffering complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
Cheney served alongside Republican President George W. Bush for two terms between the years 2001 to 2009 and previously held a figure of high-ranking position in the Republican Party.
He was the head architect of the war on terror and was in office on the morning of 9/11. He’s been described as one of the most powerful and polarizing presidents in modern US history, sources shared.
Years after he left office, Cheney became a clear target of President Trump, who blasted him for his pro-war stance.
His daughter was the leading Republican critic and examiner of his attempts to stay in power after his election defeat in the year 2020. In a statement at his passing, Cheney’s family described him as a great and good man who taught his kids and grandkids to love the nation.
