A surprise guest popped up at a Jan. 6 memorial event Thursday: Dick Cheney.
“I am deeply disappointed at the failure of many members of my party to recognize the grave nature of the January 6 attacks and the ongoing threat to our nation,” the former vice president said in a statement after attending a minute of silence ceremony on the House floor.
He was accompanied by his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney. They're the only Republicans to attend the event.
Dick Cheney, whose appearance excited even Democrats who once condemned him as a power-grabbing, war-mongering vice president, said: “I was honored and proud to join my daughter on the House floor to recognize this anniversary, to commend the heroic actions of law enforcement that day, and to reaffirm our dedication to the Constitution.”
