National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter Zbigniew Brzezinski dies at 89

The former National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter Zbigniew Brzezinski has died Friday at a hospital in northern Virginia.

His daughter, "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski announced the news late Friday and tweeted out family photos of her family.

Brzezinski was born in Poland and wielded "considerable influence over global affairs," The New York Times detailed in a biography of his life.

Brzezinski was outspoken in his opposition to the 2003 Iraqi invasion. A long-time Democrat he also was known to speak out against the "greed" in an American system he saw compound inequalities.

My father passed away peacefully tonight. He was known to his friends as Zbig, to his grandchildren as Chief and to his wife as the enduring love of her life. I just knew his as the most inspiring, loving and devoted father any girl could ever have. I love you Dad❤️ #HailToTheChief
