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.”

Yes, a video would be good, but that would require the MSM to be fair, and that is just not going to happen, IMHO.

This is exactly how you deal with liberals. Attack, attack, attack. Hit them hard, and never let up. Force them to play defense.

This is exactly what the Democrats do, and it works well for them. They are so used to being on offense that it knocks them off their game when they’re the ones who are being attacked.

Trump is scoring more points than they are. And he is winning. Beating them at their own game.

“Blumenthal should be kicked out of that sewer...or rather, Congress.”

He should be kicked out for no other reason than he’s one ugly MFer! It leaves you wondering just what his mother slept with to get him.

A president who doesn’t just sit there and take it, as Bush used to. Trump fights back - the GOP faint-hearts on Capitol Hill need to be taking notes. Instead, the usual suspects on the Republican side are busy toadying up to the Democrats and the press by expressing “grave concerns” over the Comey firing.

Perhaps, based on this welcomed recent flurry of counter punches, President Trump has lost patience with these morons?

I think that’s called STOLEN VALOR, a FEDERAL CRIME I think.

Nope...it *used* to be a Federal crime until SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional.I served during the Vietnam era,honorably but certainly not heroically.One thing I've always very clearly understood is that I was never ordered within 6,000 miles of SE Asia.

And I never even went to law school.One would think that a law school graduate,sworn to uphold the law and to always seek the truth,would have paid closer attention to the facts.

“When caught, he cried like a baby, and begged for forgiveness!” Lol! Classic Trump. MAGA!!!
The worst part for Blumenthal is that the statement is completely true.

“Blu is the best man remaining in the late great nutmeg state of Connecticut.”

Just wow! If that’s what passes for their “best man,” CT must be a world-class sewer. “Blu” is butt ugly, and crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

There are still some great conservatives in Connecticut left from the Tom Scott '94 campaign. State Senators Len Suzio and Joe Markley are two obvious examples.

There are also a few great conservatives here in CA left over from Ronald Reagan’s terms as Governor, but not enough to do anything constructive.

Connecticut is MUCH smaller than California, and it is always noble to put up some resistance, if only to keep the bad guys from expanding farther. There is also the apizza to consider.

Yes it is. He used that stolen valor for employment. He enriched himself on the coattails of those who bravely and selflessly served, POS!
