Former Vice President Dick Cheney told a crowd of Republicans on Tuesday night that the Obama administration has been the worst in 70 years, according the Wall Street Journal.

The administration has been “the most damaging, certainly, since World War II,” Cheney said at an event hosted by the conservative Young America’s Foundation in New Jersey.

Cheney lambasted Obama’s foreign policy decisions during the 30-minute speech, saying that he expected the Iranian nuclear negotiations to fail and arguing that America’s traditional allies in the region have lost “all lost faith and confidence” in the U.S.

“We have a terrible situation now. We need leadership to turn it around,” Cheney said.
