Former Vice President Mike Pence said Dick Cheney praised him for doing “the right thing” by certifying the results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021.

“When it came to Vice President Cheney, we were here for a funeral not long ago, and he leaned over next to me and just said to me in his usual terse manner, said: ‘You did the right thing,’” Pence told MS NOW on Thursday at Cheney’s funeral at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. “And I said, ‘Dick, I will always cherish that.’”

On Thursday, Pence called Cheney a “man of principle” and someone who championed “the conservative agenda.”

“And I think this nation will remember him as an extraordinary public servant who contributed mightily to the life of the nation and to the principles I hold dear,” Pence told MS NOW.

Pence’s comments about Cheney’s solidarity with him come the same day that Trump called for violence against Democratic lawmakers who urged military members to disobey unlawful orders given to them. On Truth Social, Trump reposted a message that reads, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!” In another post, Trump wrote himself, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

He followed it up with another post, writing, “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT.”
