CT Senator Blumenthal pleads ignorance for helping Communist Party USA celebrate its 102nd anniversary
American Thinker ^ | 19 Dec, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

The person who introduced him mentioned the Communist Party....

I already have a very low opinion of Senator Richard Blumenthal for his lie about having served in Vietnam, aka stolen valor, and his left-wing voting record. But I don’t think the senator, a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, is stupid enough to have attended as a celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the Communist Party USA “surprise guest” without realizing it was a celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the Communist Party USA. Yet, that’s what he is doing.

I wrote about the Senator gushing that he was “excited and proud” to be there 5 days ago. Yet now he claims:

Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Friday that, had he known that the awards ceremony in which he gave remarks last weekend was linked to the Communist Party, he would not have attended.

He made an appearance at the Connecticut People's World Committee Amistad Awards on Saturday to give three people special recognition certificates from the U.S. Senate. The CPWC is an affiliate of the Communist Party USA and the Marxist People’s World news site.

"My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event," Blumenthal told the Hartford Courant. "If I had known the details, I wouldn’t have gone. … Let me just say very emphatically, I’m a Democrat and a strong believer in American capitalism. I have been consistently a Democrat and a strong supporter and believer in American capitalism."

Notice he referred to “this cause” after being introduced at a communist event, and after his speech, the MC emphasized the communist party.

Communists operate through the lies of propaganda. Danang Dick is not changing course and he is not sorry for what he did.

A DemocRAT has only two pleas: Stupidity, or Lying.

Blumenthal ("I didn't know") is a liar.

The following is from the People's World "About Us" webpage:

---------------------------
People’s World traces its lineage to the Daily Worker newspaper, founded by communists, socialists, union members, and other activists in Chicago in 1924. On the front page of its first edition, the paper declared that “big business interests, bankers, merchant princes, landlords, and other profiteers” should fear the Daily Worker. It pledged to “raise the standards of struggle against the few who rob and plunder the many.”
>> .. snip .. <<
People’s World continues to feature Marxist analysis and opinion developed by the Communist Party as well as voices from other currents of the labor and people’s movements.

When Dr. Zhivago returned to the family home in Moscow after Soviet Russia withdrew from the war, he was greeted at the door by a man and woman serving as the local commissars. Trying to be accommodating, “Welcome”, said Zhivago. The female commissar replied, “It is not for you to welcome us, Zhivago. This house had room for 30 families and the State now owns it, Zhivago”. With deceitful boobs like Blumenthal, who proclaims service in a war in which he never fought, and denies celebrating Red communists at a dinner when he openly sat there listening and smiling, can we be far away from building and land seizures “for the people”?

Connecticut People's World Committee!
Any time I see the word People or People's in a group's or a country's name, I know damn good & well it is a Communist country or group.
I would think a decorated Marine veteran from the Vietnam war would know that also.

Oh wait! This is Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, a known liar (redundant?) and Valor Thief.

Does this guy not have a secretary or aid who sets up his meetings & appointments and do they not discuss which events he’ll attend?

He’s a proven LIAR - just like Joe & the Clintons & many others

If he is THAT stupid he does not deserve to be in a place of power. I happen to think that he is not THAT stupid but is, in fact, a communist or communist sympathizer and a GD liar.

From all of the buddies who I fought with who never made it home I say that this SOB needs tarred, feathered, and run out of town.

When senator dicky blue pleads ignorance {on anything} who can doubt him?

This guy ranks as one of the dumbest senators in the club {bottom 10} and that puts his IQ in the low teens.

This Viet Nam Medal of Honor Winner {err, maybe not}, has had more delusions than a crack addict.

He’s lied his gluteous maximus off every other time he opened his piehole. Why would now be different.

So, does this mean that he was telling the truth about serving in Viet Nam, but it was just North Viet Nam, and he didn’t know they were communists?

In Canada such persons are known as “silk stocking socialists” and they are dime a dozen up here. They embrace capitalism for themselves and socialism for the rest of us.

I would imagine the communists might also issue a press release along similar lines, “if we had known what sort of person this Senator Blumenthal actually was, we would not have invited him.”

A pox on both their houses anyway.

“Let me just say very emphatically, I’m a Democrat and a strong believer in American capitalism.”

Lies upon lies upon lies.

Democrats believe in the CCP’s version of Crony Capitalism, otherwise known as Fascism.
