I have to admit that I am saddened by this news. Lieberman was a principled and patriotic man who rejected the elitist ‘uniparty.’ Even as he sometimes shared some of their goals, he sought to find the common ground that would benefit—rather than harm—the American people.

Watch Victor Davis Hanson explain why Lieberman is so respected and his passing lamented on the right.

As a reminder, it was Lieberman who spared us from Obama’s “public option” in the ObamaCare push (a thing this guy thinks was bad for some reason).

Joe Lieberman was the single vote that kept the ACA from having a public option, which would have reshaped health care availability and pricing. Fuck that guy.

Joe Lieberman represents a generation of politics where things were not so polarized.

He knew how to cross the aisle to work together with the other side.

We could use a Joe Lieberman in office today.

🙏🙏🙏

RIP Sen. Lieberman. The only Democrat of the past 25 years I had a modicum of respect for. You were one of one.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air had this to say:

How very sad. Senator Lieberman was a liberal Democrat with a strong moral compass and a powerful desire to serve his country. May his memory always be a blessing and may he find his repose in the Lord. Thank you for your service.

Joe Lieberman was truly one of the kindest, most humble people I ever crossed paths with in DC. He was always gracious, truthful, respectful and willing to talk things out. I was moved by his deep faith and commitment to his family. What a privilege to know him. May his…

Sad to hear of Senator Joe Lieberman’s passing. He was one of the last remaining centrist Democrats who tried to find common ground & save his party from itself. He was also a good man who loved his family & his country. My thoughts are w/ his wife Hadassah & his family 🕊️ pic.twitter.com/OcuMpuJX8D

I knew Joe Lieberman a little bit. He was a patriot, a statesman, and — most importantly — a mensch. RIP.
