Former Vice President Dick Cheney condemned GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trumpâs 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, âgoes against everything we stand for and believe in.â
âI mean, religious freedom has been a very important part of our history and where we came from,â he added.
Cheney said that there is a âserious problemâ when it comes to refugees from Syria and other countries in ensuring they donât ârepresent ISIS.
âYouâve got to set up a vetting processâand thatâs crucial,â he said.

Trump did not call for banning Muslim worship in the US.
He called for banning Muslim from entry to the US from any foreign country.
And, that's LEGAL and Constitutional.
Plus there is no credible vetting system in place.
That’s not the Dick I know. Something is very, VERY wrong here.
Oh, Wait. This is from ‘Time?’ Never mind...
Shut up Cheney and go enjoy your retirement.
I’m sick of these establishment dinosaurs thinking we care what they have to say.
Part of the GOPe. Attack Trump for a position he didn’t state.
It makes more sense now that you pointed that out. Thank you.
Trump’s idea would keep a lot of Cheney’s Saudi best buds on the other side of the border.
Trump is right of course.
Stop them at the wall.
Also like Germany shut down mosques that are viper holes and kick out terrorist imans who are really terrorist recruiters.
It's a direct quote and the source does not matter in this case.
Of course, you know that.
Cheny loves him some SOW’D oil boys.
Can’t upset the princes of goat love. “Here is my Farrari. My Lamborgini is nice, you like. Oh, and there is my bride Baaabaraaaa.”
Does anyone else see what’s happening here!?
Ban is a harsh word. Suspend is better. Don’t know how he said it, but I don’t mind ban either.
I think Trump’s plan is a little too absolute. BUT there is no right by anyone to come in here.
Gee just perhaps the muslim world needs to be on notice to police its own. After all, our “ally” Saudi Arabia is spending billions creating muslim extremists.
HOORAY Trump
I can’t trust any Republican in DC I trust most of Rush and so far alll I see on OANN which so far is more fair and balanced than Fox
Correct.
If Cheney is close to anyone in the GOP, it's the Bush family. And Rove. And all the GOPe.
Once again making all the right enemies. Cheney is a pro-homo- neocon who is hated by most Americans.
Can you say more independent and Reagan Democrat voters?
STHU and go balance your checkbook
Trump did not call for banning Muslims from entering forever but until Washington straightens out a program that is out of control - dysfunctional.
I would argue we should stop all immigration until the millions of Americans without jobs are back on a payroll.
and until we know who and how background checks are being conducted on refugees - stop.
Trump is ripping off the cover of all the pretenders.
