Dick Cheney Condemns Trump Plan to Ban Muslims From Entering U.S.
Time ^ | December 7th,2015 | Zeke J Miller

Former Vice President Dick Cheney condemned GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Cheney said the plan, which Trump announced Monday, “goes against everything we stand for and believe in.”

“I mean, religious freedom has been a very important part of our history and where we came from,” he added.

Cheney said that there is a “serious problem” when it comes to refugees from Syria and other countries in ensuring they don’t “represent ISIS.

“You’ve got to set up a vetting process—and that’s crucial,” he said.

Cheney should shut up. 14 innocents are dead and more to come. Shut up Cheney, shut up.

All we have to do is wait for the next mass murder event. A big one this time. Like a dirty bomb or something nuclear. I guess preserving the right of muslims to enter this country is more important than thousands of Americans losing their lives.

Hugh Hewitt and Townhall and Salem Media are with the establishment dinosaurs. Beware.

The same Cheney who was ok with Bush taking his shoes off with the CAIR president in a D.C. mosque on 9/14/2001, as the WTC still burned, to declare "Islam is peace?" The same Cheney who approved of evacuating all Saudis from the U.S. while the rest of us had our flights remained grounded? The same Cheney who presumably agreed with the redaction of 21 pages in the 9/11 Report that implicated the Saudi ruling family?

Hey Cheney...f**k you. I'm with Trump on this.

Trump called for a (temporary) ban, pending review of our immigration criteria and review of our domestic situation with Muslims here. Is Hewitt SURE it was Cheney he was talking to, or was that an imposter?

Part of the GOPe.

Many folks will tell you that Cheney is not GOPe, well, because Cheney looks tough in his photographs. He's always scowling, like those 1930's Hollywood movie gangsters.

But he's not tough. Like you said, he's a GOPe neocon. The country would have been so much better off if he had retired permanently after his first stint as SecDef. And now he should just keep quiet. Maybe go fishing.

"or was that an imposter?"

Cheney is, and has always been, of the Bush/Rove wing of the GOPe.

His boy came out today with outrage that Trump would propose such a thing.

Cheney's bringing his "Gravitas" to the table to support his boy.

All the establishment GOPers are circling the wagons. They know that if Trump wins, he will completely remake the Republican Party and today's insiders will be on the outside looking in.

They are going to seize on any opportunity to knock Trump out of this race. Even if it means handing the White House to Shrillary.

Thousands of muslims are giving their money to their mosques—where does that money go? Who knows if the mosques are giving part of their collection to the jihadis. Also, consider this—many muslims in the United States and Europe are receiving welfare so some of the taxpayers money is going to the mosques...and where does it go after that?

Trump's idea would keep a lot of Cheney’s Saudi best buds on the other side of the border.

I doubt consider Islam a religion. I consider it the worst cult on earth. So what’s the problem?

Cheney, stick with the grandkids. You had your time, it was mostly a failure.

The US has every right in the world to choose who they want, and don’t want entering the US.

Did the US allow Japanese to enter the country during WW2? How about Germans suspected of being Nazis, were they allowed in? Did we allow North Koreans to enter during the Korean War?

The constitution is not a suicide pact. That is what these morons don’t understand.

I saw Fiorina on BOR denouncing Trump for saying that he would not allow Muslims into the US if they were returning from vacation? Did he say that? I didn’t listen to his whole speech, I did hear him say that Muslims traveling to fight for ISIS or other radical organizations wouldn’t be allowed back, but did he say those returning from vacations? Or does Fiorina think fighting for ISIS is a vacation?
