Cheney funeral service ignites fresh talk of ‘uniparty’ as establishment pols mingle without Trump
Many of the attendees have viewed Trump, from the advent of his first campaign in 2015, as a political outsider, a man whose wealth and influence liberated him from the historically-required dealings and favor-trading in Washington.
On Thursday, a gathering of people who many on both the political left and right view as the so-called "uniparty", attended former Vice President Dick Cheney's funeral. Notably absent and reportedly not invited were the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and his Vice President, JD Vance.
The mixture of mourners included both Republicans and Democrats, some of whom formerly referred to Cheney in unflattering term. Atendee Rachel Maddow of MS NOW referred to him as "the maestro of terror politics."
Others in attendance were former Presidents George W. Bush, Joe Biden, former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, Senator Adam Schiff, political commentator James Carville, and former NIAID director Anthony Fauci.
