RJC Statement on the Passing of Dick Cheney

Washington, DC – The Republican Jewish Coalition mourns the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney. 

RJC National Chairman Senator Norm Coleman and RJC CEO Matt Brooks said:

In his long career in public service, from Congress to the Pentagon to the White House, Dick Cheney never wavered from his core principles. He was devoted to this country, and he bent all his efforts toward keeping our nation strong, secure, and free. 

Vice President Cheney had a substantial role in meeting the greatest challenges our country faced in the last 40 years, including 9/11. He understood the threats against the US and the valuable role of US allies, including Israel, in combatting them. 

We honor his life-long service to our country and remember him as an American patriot and an unwavering friend of Israel and the Jewish community.
