Cheney's daughter, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, tweeted a photo of her father Friday donning a standard-issue paper face covering.
"Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK," she wrote in the caption.
The high-ranking House Republican was seemingly joining in on the online jab at President Trump and fellow GOP members who shun masks.
The president has refused to wear a face mask in public, against the advice of his health experts.
The VP-PSA came as the United States experiences a massive upswing in new coronavirus cases.
On Thursday the US broke its single-day record for COVID-19 cases when at least 40,173 people tested positive for the virus and another more than 2,400 died.
And by Saturday morning, The United States recorded the largest single-day increase in new coronavirus cases Friday, as the nationwide death toll exceeded 125,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.
There were just under 2.5 million confirmed cases in the US by Saturday morning.
New York State continues to lead the nation in number of deaths, at 31,342 early Saturday — but more than 70,000 have recovered in the state.
Several states have begun implementing new safety measures, like mandatory face coverings.
Others, like Florida and Texas, begin rolling back their reopenings even as their respective governors, Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott resist mask requirements.
