Cheney said that sending the U.S. military to Iraq was “the right thing to do” after the events of 9/11.
Protesters and speakers criticized the Cornell Republicans for offering Cheney a platform to speak on Tuesday and expressed anger over the former vice president’s role in the Iraq War.
An umbrella of activist student organizations will stage a “peaceful, ethically fair and inclusive demonstration” outside of Statler Hall during Cheney’s speech to represent other political perspectives, according to Omar Din ’19.
