Joe Lieberman, RIP
I obviously had plenty of political disagreements with him, but Sen. Lieberman deserves credit for sticking to his principles and repeatedly challenging his party. Recently, he appeared on FOX News to speak out against Biden and Sen. Schumer’s campaign to stop Israel from destroying Hamas. By then he had long since become an Independent.Months before the October 7, 2023 bloodbath, Liberman also warned Joe Biden's "policy" on Iran would enable more terrorism by extension:
Sen. Lieberman’s opposition to Islamic terrorism had so infuriated the Left that it did everything possible to topple him. But he survived his last election with the aid of Republican voters. And while he left office, he wasn’t done. He remained deeply interested in defending America and the world against the threat of terrorism. And was involved with the Center for Security Policy among other groups trying to counter the Jihad.
Three months prior to the Hamas-led October 7 attack on Israel, former Democratic vice presidential nominee and U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, who died Wednesday, slammed President Joe Biden for snubbing Israel’s democratically elected government and issued a prescient warning that the Biden administration’s eagerness to offer the Iranian government billions of dollars would allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to “suppress their own people” and “enable their proxy terrorists to kill a lot of other people.”No doubt, there was what to dissent with Lieberman upon. But his positions on subjects like Israel and also Islamic terrorism were very impressive, and it's regrettable the left turned against him. Lieberman should be remembered for the responsible positions he took.
In late June, Lieberman criticized the Biden administration for refusing to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, as he accused it of “strengthening” the otherwise “weak” Iranian regime.
In an interview with Breitbart News at the time, the one-time vice-presidential nominee spoke out against the White House’s “mistake” in that the prime minister of Israel — elected the previous November — had yet to be invited to the White House.
“Honestly, most of the world doesn’t know that the prime minister of Israel has not been invited to the White House [but] I think it’s a mistake,” he stated. [...]
On the Biden administration’s persistence in pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran, Lieberman expressed his inability to comprehend “what rationally would lead anybody to think they could make a deal or an understanding — whatever they’re going to call it — with the Islamic Republic of Iran that we could rely on.”
He also slammed the notion of “another deal that would give the Iranian government billions of dollars that they will use to suppress their own people and enable their proxy terrorists to kill a lot of other people,” while warning of additional consequences and harms caused by such moves.
