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 gets it wrong and Hewitt doesn't call him on it.

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.

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.

"Oh, Wait. This is from ‘Time?’ Never mind..."

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.

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?

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.
