Legacy of Joe Lieberman
Former US Senator and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Lieberman passed away Wednesday at the age of 82.
On Friday, he will be laid to rest following services at temple Agudath Sholom in his hometown of Stamford, Connecticut.
President Biden released a statement on Thursday saying in part, "Joe Lieberman and I served together in the US Senate for 20 years. He was principled, steadfast, and unafraid to stand up for what he thought was right. He was a friend."
Joining us on Extra Time is filmmaker Jonathan Gruber, who is currently directing a documentary on the late senator's life.
