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.

“I think Trumpâs plan is a little too absolute. BUT there is no right by anyone to come in here.”
Then vote for Rubio or jeb or Hilary
No difference
When Iran took or embassy people, all Iranian students lost their visas. They were gone
This is a country
ABSOLUTELY!
The GOPe, as you know, work for the same people as the DNC.
It's a 45-55 deal, depending on who wins.
Even in loss the GOP gets their 45%.
Doesn’t Golom remind you of the typical power grubbing politician?
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.
...
That should be the headline.
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.
Sam, you nailed it. This is exactly what is going on.
That is why 2016 is for all the marbles, on multiple levels.
Above: Bush and terrorist front group CAIR's president in a Muslim Brotherhood D.C. mosque on 9/14/2001 to declare "Islam is peace".
While the WTC was still smoldering...
Cheney the old chickenhawk liberal is paid off by those dune coons. Cannot understand how anyone sees him as conservative.
“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.”
I like Cheney, but he’s pushing it too far with this.
Shut up Cheney and go enjoy your retirement.
...
The headline doesn’t do a good job of representing what he said. Don’t fall for the tricks of the evil media.
What cable provider do you have for OAN? I’m on Comcast and can’t find it.
I propose:
1) a limited number of visas per country, number to be determined with prudence
2) the quota for any country is cut by the number of its overstaying visitors, cumulatively
3) any act of terror committed by a visitor results in draconian cuts in his/her country’s quota, to a diplomatic minimum
That puts the onus on countries to self-police, and it would put Saudi Arabia on the no visitors list until the next century, I think.
I find it hard to believe that Dick Cheney is really this clueless.
Religious freedom? Islam does not allow other religions to exist in countries they control.
Islam is more an authoritarian political system of conquest than it is a religion.
And by the way Mr. Cheney, thanks for nothing for keeping or southern border porous along with George W. for eight years.
Religion of peace my a$$.
Trump is right on this. Ban Muslims from entering this country. They are incompatible with all other religions, thus all other cultures.
There is no reason we should have to accommodate them at the expense of ourselves, or any other religion, or culture. Their demands are unacceptable, and outrageous.
There went the last bit of respect that I had for Dick Cheney. I always thought he was one of the sane guys.
“I think Trumpâs plan is a little too absolute.”
The relatives of fourteen people murdered in California would probably disagree with you. Or of the slaughtered in Paris. Or of the thousands that died on 9/11.
‘That should be the headline.’
Yeah but Dick ‘swallowed the bait’.
Shame. I guess he feels he owes it to the Party but Trump’s moratorium (Cruz also has proposed one) is supported by conservatives AND moderates- it’s a winner.
Back off Dick. islam is a death cult.
Yes, but in all honesty I think Jihad John McCains was the inspiration for Gollum.
;-)
I’m with you padre, close the friggin door. For at least a generation.
