U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, a former Marine who served in both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, posted a short video on social media Tuesday reacting to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s death, saying he won’t be mourning it.

Platner said the only legacy Cheney leaves behind is that he wasted “thousands of young American lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives and trillions of dollars for absolutely nothing.”
