Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is remembered as a 'mensch' who bridged political divides and promoted bipartisan spirit and political tolerance. Democratic leaders, including former VP Al Gore, honored Lieberman at his funeral service. Lieberman's career was marked by hawkish foreign policy stances. However, some critics highlight his warmongering actions and refusal to apologize for spreading lies about WMDs in Iraq. Despite his impact on American politics, Lieberman did not garner significant support from American Jewish voters.

An Officer & a Gentleman … and a mensch too! The State of Israel and the @IDF were blessed to have @LtColRichard in this role, in the most difficult of times.

Joe Lieberman was a tireless warmonger who spread lies about WMDs in Iraq, refused to apologize for it 18 years later, and kept beating the drum to attack Iran too. We should mourn all the people who would still be here, if not for his actions. https://t.co/8E6qkPObqN
