Dick Cheney leaves behind a mixed legacy in his home state of Wyoming. He died Tuesday at age 84. Some in Wyoming remember the former vice president for being at odds with President Donald Trump after he stood by his daughter, former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, who investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Some say the criticism of Trump came off in Wyoming as though people there were “stupid” for supporting him. Others including Republican state Sen. Tara Nethercott say Cheney deserves appreciation for standing by his daughter during difficult times.
