*DICK* Cheney throws daughter Mary under the bus.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney took Liz Cheney’s side Monday in a public spat with her lesbian sister over same-sex marriage, saying the Wyoming Senate hopeful has always supported traditional marriage while treating her sibling “with love and respect.”
“This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public,” Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said in a statement. “Since it has, one thing should be clear. Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage.”
The statement followed a weekend clash between their daughters Liz and Mary. Liz Cheney, who is challenging Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) in the state’s GOP primary, has said she opposes same-sex marriage, most recently on Fox News Sunday. Hours later, Mary and her wife took the candidate to task in Facebook posts.
But the elder Cheneys praised Liz’s behavior toward Mary, and warned against a distortion of her views.
