Trump: Dem Senator 'Should Be The One Who Is Investigated'
thehill.com ^ | 05/10/17

Posted on 05/10/2017 6:00:23 AM PDT by Helicondelta

President Trump on Wednesday morning attacked Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), calling for him to face an investigation over a 2010 campaign controversy about military service.

Trump took to Twitter to slam Blumenthal shortly after the senator appeared on morning cable news shows to criticize Trump for firing FBI Director Jamed Comey

“Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke. ‘Richie’ devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history,” Trump wrote over a series of tweets.

“For … years, as a pol in Connecticut, Blumenthal would talk of his great bravery and conquests in Vietnam - except he was never there. When … caught, he cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness ... and now he is judge & jury. He should be the one who is investigated for his acts.”

This is showing what fake frauds the Democrats are regarding Comey.

It was practically yesterday they were screaming for his head.

All video of each one of them condemning Comey should be played on a loop of video.

SCOTUS said lying about military service is covered by the 1st amendment.

Unfortunately.....

"There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam."

Mr. Blumenthal and others had better stop their over reacting to the firing of Dir. Comey....earlier almost all the Democratic lawmakers disliked and wanted Coney removed. Hypocrites all!

This is great. Normal Republicans play by the media’s rules. Those rules are that you don’t keep bringing up a scandal about a Democrat. After you talk about it once, you move on. Jeb would never talk about Blumenthal lying about his military service. Neither would any of the other Bushes. Its why the Dems cleaned their clocks over and over and over.

For some reason, when I read that, I could only hear Don Corleone:

What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous!

Seems I recall a Republican congressman from Oregon getting thrown out about 15 years ago for misrepresenting his military service, Cooley was his name I think.
