Just another turd in the punch bowl. Blumenthal is a disgusting man with very few if any redeeming qualities. This is maddening.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) spoke at an awards ceremony over the weekend hosted by a Communist Party affiliate whose leaders used the event to recruit potential members to the organization.

Blumenthal, one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, presented certificates of special recognition from the Senate to three winners of the "Amistad Award," given annually by the Connecticut People’s World Committee, an affiliate of the Communist Party USA and the Marxist People’s World news site.

Blumenthal appeared even as Democratic leaders have downplayed allegations that many in the party support socialist or communist policies. President Joe Biden distanced himself from the left-wing ideologies during the 2020 presidential campaign, at one point bragging that he defeated a socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), in the primaries. Blumenthal used his speech at the ceremony to tout Democratic legislative policies, including voting rights reform, ending the filibuster and the Build Back Better Act, according to the Yankee Institute, a free market think tank in Connecticut that reported (https://yankeeinstitute.org/2021/12/13/state-senator-kushner-u-s-senator-blumenthal-highlight-connecticut-communist-partys-amistad-awards/) details of the event.

https://freebeacon.com/democrats/blumenthal-speaks-at-communist-party-awards-ceremony/I find it rather absurd that ANY member of Congress that has become wealthy taxing the People would support communism.

Then again, they don't earn those taxpayer dollars that make them wealthy.

Blumenthal did lead voters in Connecticut to believe he was a Vietnam veteran when, in fact, he was never deployed to Vietnam. He obtained at least five deferments and later served in the Marine Reserve in the Washington area, according to a New York Times article in 2010.

There's no evidence Blumenthal boasted of near-death experiences, or claimed to be a war hero; he did make false claims about returning back from war or serving in Vietnam.

He later apologized for misrepresenting his service, saying he regretted saying that he had served "in" Vietnam instead of "during" Vietnam.
