Everytime Blumenthal is mentioned, his name should be prefaced with “Richard Blumenthal, of stolen valor fame.......
He’s certainly not the first. IIRC Senator Tom Harkin lied about being a combat pilot with over 100 missions in Viet Nam. He was a cargo pilot that never did get shot at.
Since he lied about being the captain of the Harvard swim team, as well, you may as well hang THAT around his scrawney neck, too.
Don’t ever give Donald Trump the opportunity to catch you in a lie, otherwise “Liar” becomes part of you name, just ask Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton. And it is now the “lying” fakestream media, as well.
Now it is “Lying” Senator Richard Blumenthal.
Donald Trump sees no reason why he should practice comity with certain Senators and past Senators. And he has not, with some few of them.
