Washington National Cathedral hosted a bipartisan show of respect and remembrance for Dick Cheney, the consequential and polarizing vice president who became an acidic scold of fellow Republican President Donald Trump. Trump has been publicly silent about Cheney’s Nov. 3 death and was not invited to the funeral Thursday. Two ex-presidents came. Republican George W. Bush eulogized the man who served him as vice president, calling Cheney "smart and polished, without airs.” Democrat Joe Biden sat in a row with Bush and their wives. Among the eulogists, Liz Cheney, the eldest daughter, only obliquely addressed what amounted to a father-daughter feud with the president — a man her dad had called a “coward” for trying to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
