Former vice president was in town Tuesday night
TOMS RIVER -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney attended a local Republican fundraiser Tuesday, app.com reported.
About 150 people attended the event, held at the Toms River Hotel on behalf of GOPAC, an organization that trains Republican candidates for office. During the event, Cheney discussed his book "Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America," co-authored with his daughter Liz, in which the two criticize President Obama's foreign policy and also argue that the United States has a singular, leading role in the world.
Organizers declined to say how much was raised.
Cheney, the 46th vice president, served in the administrations of presidents Nixon and Ford in 1970s as well as the first President Bush, where he was Secretary of Defense during the first Gulf War in 1990. Many consider Cheney to be the most powerful vice president in history.
