Tom Nides: Joe Lieberman was ‘beloved’ by his staff, ‘a true legend, a true friend… a true mensch.’

Former Senator Joseph Lieberman died yesterday, after serving Connecticut for 24 years and running as the first Jewish candidate on a major party’s presidential ballot during the 2000 presidential election when he served as Al Gore’s Vice Presidential running mate. Tom Nides, who served as Senator Lieberman’s 2000 Vice Presidential campaign manager, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss Lieberman’s life and legacy.

Meh. The underinsured can thank Lieberman every time they can't afford a critical medecine.

[@user-it8mt3zg9f]

I'm sure he stuffed a lot of Corporate Health Insurance cash into his staff's pockets. Sold out America's health for a payday. He should have registered as a Republican.

[@str8ballinSA]

He was Manchin of his era.

[@josephsonora3787]

Beloved by his Staff Only and not by his country. What a shame.

[@bonefishboards]

Sorry, Joe Lieberman leaned more and more right during the final decade+ of his political career.

[@davidgoosen1633]

This animal learned where the money came from..... And his wife who ran lieberman's life, said honey there's never enough money you better steal it all now while you can! The corporate media will never tell you the truth about these animals

[@eyesseeyou803]

Sorry loyal viewers....I come here to laugh. And it just gets funnier.
Thank you😂

[@gloriagruca8290]

Rest in peace Joe Lieberman, and condolences to your family.

[@noahvr5675]

Rest easy ❤

[@deanfiora4227]

Joe Lieberman balanced his love of our troops fighting in immoral wars with a commitment to preventing Americans from getting healthcare. Even after his Senate career ended, he showed his strong support for American democracy by lobbying for Chinese telecom firms.

[@akahina]

He was a DINO.
RIP. Not missed.

[@BobSmith-kd6lq]

He was a true dem

[@devoteeofgeorgesmiley7184]

Joe Lieberman did a fine job representing his home nation:
The Land of Meir Kahane.
And the Chosen People of the Kahane Master Race, LLC.

[@bjdefilippo447]

People who think anti-Semitism isn't an issue should consider that he wasn't considered a viable candidate for President, or for McCain's VP because he was Jewish. We've still got a long way to go.

[@BobSmith-kd6lq]

Don't let the fact that he was a democrat get in the way of your lie.

[@madboyreadynow28]

God said there will be no 3rd party

[@sguyouttanowhere8319]

Whatever.

[@GladysCaceres-dm4fp]

[@eyesseeyou803]

Good question

[@eyesseeyou803]

​@str8ballinSAyeah....kind of like 'the elephant' in the room.

Your cult leader will end his days in jail.
Cope.

Care to repeat that in English?

[@DavidJ2222]

Blacks for Trump

[@marydevonshire4655]

At least have the class to express some condolences. The world is not all about Trump. So disgusting

[@mickeyandmycrafts]

Blacks for Trump is like roaches to Raid.

Chickens for Popeye's!
