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."

(video at link)

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

As a refugee from Ct, who watched in growing horror as Blumenthal’s political career advanced, I can say without fear of contradiction, Blumenthal is a disgusting human being. He’s cut from the same cloth as John F-ing Kerry. All self promotion, hypocrisy and deceit.

Alec Baldwin didn’t know the gun was loaded.

Obama didn’t know that Reverend Wright was preaching bigoted, anti-American chit.

Or that his best bud was a Weather Underground terrorist, unrepentant.

Bill Clinton didn’t know that his country club was whites only.

Amazing how these smartest people in the whole freakin’ world get to not know so many things.

People have no respect for someone who cannot stand up for what they believe in.

He should double-down and embrace the Communist Party!

I am surprised that the rest of the senate Democrats were not there along with at least 15 Republican senators. They must not have received the email.

Blumenthal is a lying piece of human debris. He should be impeached or aT least censured, especially if we retake the house and senate.

Obviously, Blumenthal is not as adept at lying as Slick Wiley, Hillary and Barry Soetoro.

Of course, Blummie is better than SloJoe.

Sure. And the KKK was a working class organization, too. So were the Nazis. KKK, National Socialist, International Socialist, Lyndon Laurouch’s Labor Committee...whatever.

He works hard to be this ignorant. His staff is busily keeping him un-informed.

He just thought it was a catchy tune. Who knew it was the Internationale.
