0:47Now PlayingJoe Lieberman, the US senator and vice presidential nominee whose voyage from reliable liberal to stubborn centrist led him to abandon the Democratic Party at a time of political polarization, earning him both admiration and contempt, has died. He was 82.
He died on Wednesday in New York City due to complications from a fall, according to a statement from his family. The statement said his “love of God, his family and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest.”
Lieberman represented Connecticut in the Senate from 1989 until 2013. His willingness to break with his party was on display in 1998, after President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives for his affair with a White House intern. While most Democrats in Congress were standing with Clinton, calling his actions far short of impeachment-worthy, Lieberman took to the Senate floor to denounce Clinton’s behavior as “disgraceful” and “immoral.”
