Former Vice President Dick Cheney says “real men wear masks”, in an apparent jab aimed at President Trump.

His daughter Liz Cheney tweeted a photo of her war criminal Father on Friday wearing a blue medical mask and cowboy hat.

RT reports: The hawkish ex-vice president was seen in an image shared by his daughter, Liz – a GOP rep from Wyoming – on Friday, declaring “Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK,” followed by the hashtag “real men wear masks.” The moralizing tweet was quickly met with mockery, many netizens finding it impossible not to mention Cheney’s 2006 hunting mishap, which saw the VP blast Texas attorney Harry Whittington in the face with a shotgun.

While Whittington, then 78-years-old, survived the shooting and both he and Cheney maintain it was an accident, the incident has become something of a legend in popular culture, producing a litany of ‘Dick Cheney will shoot you in the face’ jokes at the time – which were brought back in force on Friday.

In some quarters, Cheney’s mask stunt was met with approval, with a number of netizens insisting anyone who refuses to wear a face covering is “actually a worse human” than the former VP. The GOP-led Lincoln Project, part of a constellation of conservative ‘NeverTrump’ organizations, also welcomed Cheney into the #Resistance, apparently seeing the mask as a political symbol.

Cheney’s detractors soon shot back, however, noting the former VP’s role in launching the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq, which, according to some estimates, consigned over a million Iraqis to death. Deeming Cheney responsible for a “war of aggression, kidnapping, torture and extrajudicial executions,” critics argued the hollow gesture – wearing a piece of fabric over his face – could not absolve “war crimes.”

  1. Satan’s go-fer boy. Reprehensible sack of shit, and proof there is a “next level” of health care available to the rich and powerful. How else could people like Cheney, Soros and Kissinger live so long? They don’t look as though exercise is in their vocabularies.

  2. No they smoke Marlboro cigarettes eat beef and drink beer and die young enough to make their wives well off widows .That’s the American dream.

    • Bravo! I’ve lost the few remaining friends I have acquired by making the same statement.

  3. So the Dick is trying to what shame men into submission? Real men do not shoot their hunting partners by accident or otherwise Dickey boy.

  4. Just keep your damn shotgun pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger!!!

    After that, you can wear a pair of your daughter’s used underwear over your face for all we care, you and George W. with your freaking Nation Building, WMD Fantasy, and unneccessary wars to keep your friends in the Military Industrial Complex happy while pissing away trillions and killing tens of thousands and maiming even more American Kids.

  5. Do they also force themselves sexually on children? While this fool is pretending expertise about one thing, maybe he should come out about the other.
