The former vice president wishes the public brawl between his two daughters had remained private.

The public back-and-forth prompted Dick Cheney and his wife to get involved, and they issued a statement defending Liz.
“This is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public,” Dick and Lynne Cheney said.
