Politico’s live stream of an interview with Dick Cheney and his family cut to black on Monday just as a protester with handcuffs accused the former vice president of being a war criminal.

Host Mike Allen began the “Politico Playbook” event by asking Dick Cheney, his wife Lynne, and his daughter Liz if they talked about politics at home.

After Lynne Cheney took a jab at Hillary Clinton by saying that she was not “dead broke” when her husband was nominated for vice president in 2000, Liz Cheney complimented her parents for involving their children in politics from an early age.

About that time, someone in the audience began to yell that Dick Cheney was a “war criminal,” which caused Lynne Cheney to chuckle.

“And we are having some problems with the feed coming to us from the Politico Playbook lunch,” a C-SPAN announcer eventually explained.

5. Good for them, Cheney is a war criminal

The only thing he deserves is the rest of his life in the Hague, if not worse.

6. What a chuckle the "girls" had over that scene.

What the hell does, "Four more years, four more years," mean?

In the old days, they'd be sitting in the lion's den arena shouting for more blood and gore. What a sick bunch they are.

8. It's symbolic and there's no way they would be able to really arrest and cuff him

but I think it's important that Cheney forever understand the degree of hatred he brought about. Cheney is all over the TV and appearing at events on a constant basis, often trying to rewrite history, it seems. It's important to be equally relentless in letting him know just what a low opinion of him we have. They can't get away with it. I know there are some people at DU who disapprove of public protests against Cheney. I don't understand it. It's like I'm from a different planet. But of course they have a right to their opinion.
