Several Democratic leaders who honored the life and legacy ofat his funeral Friday remembered the man who represented Connecticut for over two decades as a calming presence and commended his approach to holding public office in contrast to today's division.
Gore pointed out that while they shared "bitter disagreements on policy and political matters," they stayed close friends regardless. "On Saturdays during the long, excruciating, 36-day process after Election Day before the Supreme Court decision, we would ... observe the Sabbath together and it was a time of real comfort and perspective," Gore said.
Murphy recalled running for a state legislature seat early in his career and having Lieberman -- "a giant" -- campaign for him.
