Blumenthal Speaks at Communist Party Awards Ceremony
freebeacon.com ^ | Dec. 14, 2021 | Chuck Ross

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 details of the event.

Blumenthal was introduced at the event by Lisa Bergmann, a Communist Party member who blamed corporations for the "imperialism that exists in our world that is undermining the labor and environment."

Bergmann and her fellow communist emcee, Ben McManus, issued invitations at the ceremony to join the Communist Party.

I doubt Blumenthal is the only commie/commie sympathizer in Congress.

The article didn't say whether Bernie or AOC were present.

The Communist Party USA merged with the Democrat Party during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
They have not run a candidate since they endorsed Obama.

Awards ceremony???

“..envelop, please…. And the award for Beat Commie of 2021 goes to..!”

Sheesh.. awards ceremony devoted to a political mindset that aims for the destruction of this nation? And they’re still worried about the few dozen folks who paraded through the House taking selfies…

Our most perfect form of human government has been entirely infested with filthy, corrupt rats.

Blumenthal may have said:
First off, I’m smiling partly because of being invited to this wonderful awards ceremony, but also because I am now out of the closet. I am a Communist.
(standing ovation. Cheers continue for five minutes. Blumenthal wipes tears of happiness away.)

Communism is inherently evil. It is a system based on theft and coercion. If someone states that they are a communist (or the semi-covert equivalent, a socialist,) that is all the justification needed to avoid, marginalize, ostracize or if necessary, excise them.

Evil must be resisted. Evil must be stamped out wherever it tries to take root. Suffer it not to exist near you.

The merger took place in 1984.

1984 was last time CPUSA ran a Presidential Candidate. Since then they endorsed the ComDem Party candidate.

Arrest them all. Not joking.

Communist Control Act of 1957.

It's still on the books. Everyone aiding and abetting CP USA is a criminal.

Seems that the communists are finally comfortable enough to just admit it.

Can anyone name even a dozen “ Democrat “ members of Congress who are not communists ?

Whether they grasp this fact or not is debatable.

“Richard Blumenthal Claimed Vietnam Service But Never Went”

Just another politician that is as useless as teats on a boar hog.
