HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Democrats are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign.
The request was made in a Jan. 16 letter from Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the state party, on behalf of the Democratic State Central Committee.
It chastises the longtime Democrat, who won re-election in 2006 as an independent, for speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Sen. John McCain.
The letter states that Lieberman's appearance undermined the efforts of Democratic candidates in Connecticut and across the country.
It also criticizes Lieberman for supporting controversial pastor John Hagee, a Texas evangelical preacher who has offended Roman Catholics.
