Fox’s Guy Benson on Dick Cheney: This Was a Giant on Our Political Scene for Many Years

‘He was the leader in the Republican Part on [the same sex marriage]’

TRANSCRIPT:

BENSON: "Oh, my heart goes out to the Cheney family. This was a giant on our political scene for many years. I mean, Ainsley, you just walked through the resume, or at least part of the resume, and it’s extraordinary, this life, this American life that he led. White House chief of staff, member of Congress, defense secretary, vice president of the United States. I remember at the time, and even now, a lot of people observed that Cheney perhaps was one of the most influential and powerful vice presidents in the history of the country. And Brian, you mentioned his legacy on same-sex marriage, a real leader in the Republican Party on that. When it was not popular to come out for that position, he did so. He stood by it under some withering controversy and questions about it."
