Vice President JD Vance slammed the late former Vice President Dick Cheney during a hush-hush event with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Vance and Kennedy were at a closed-press “Make America Healthy Again Summit” in Washington, D.C., when the subject of the vice presidency came up, the Daily Mail reported. “You know, the job of the vice president has been called the worst job in the country,” Kennedy said during a what was termed a “fireside chat” with Vance. Vance laughed before interjecting, “I think we’re out of time, ladies and gentlemen.” “I think for some vice presidents that that’s been true,’ Kennedy continued. “But then you have vice presidents like Dick Cheney who seemed to be actually running the country and then you have these relationships...” “Not very well, by the way,” Vance cut in with a big laugh. RFK Jr. replied: “We agree on that.” Cheney, the former two-term vice president under GOP President George W. Bush, died on Nov. 3 at the age of 84. Vance also roasted his immediate predecessor, former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. “You could have a president who has no trust in their vice president,” Vance said before letting loose with a fake cough and adding, “Kamala Harris.” Vance said, “And so it doesn’t go very well for that particular vice president.” Kennedy said that Democrats Bill Clinton and Al Gore had a great relationship and asked Vance to describe his relationship with President Donald Trump. Said Vance, “It’s interesting, you’re exactly right that the job of vice president is incredibly contingent on the president that you’re serving under, and you could have a president who effectively just passes off big slots of responsibility. You could have a president who delegates.” Only a very few reporters were allowed in to the event to hear the veep’s remarks, with one organizer saying that all comments were “off the record.”
