Cheney - the VP under President Bush from 2001 to 2009 - died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease on Monday night.

As of Wednesday morning, President Trump had not publicly responded to the former vice president's death. Cheney had become a critic of Trump in recent years.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney battled heart disease for most of his adult life, a life extended thanks to a heart transplant in 2012.

"Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death," wrote Eman Abdelhadi, a columnist for In These Times.

University of Chicago professor arrested at anti-ICE rally posts scathing response to Dick Cheney's death, calling former VP a 'mass murderer' on social media.

Cheney helped shape the old Republican Party as a vice president who embraced aggressive antiterrorism tactics, only to see his party transformed by Trump and MAGA.

Cheney, who died Monday at age 84, probably knew more about the workings of the U.S. government than any man active in politics at the time.
