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."

Yep, another "smartest man in the country is really just a dumbass".

You can't blame the communist for going with that ploy.

Works for them every time

If he’s that fundamentally stupid and uninformed, he has no business representing his state in the U.S. Senate. Really.

.....and yet, if some unknown guy living in the middle of nowhere, claiming to be a member of the KKK, said he supported Donald Trump, the media went crazy hours hours later wanting to know why Trump hadn’t denounced the guy yet.

Anyone who would lie about serving combat duty in Vietnam as a Marine would lie about anything.

If his lips are moving, he’s lying. If his lips are not moving, he’s thinking up a lie. Sen. Blooming-liar is easy to read.

Senator blue menthol, who served in Viet Nam, would gladly turn this entire country communist if it meant he could gain political power.

So...he’s color blind and didn’t notice the big RED hammer and sickle flag in the corner?

He just thought it was a bunch of farmers who raised Red Wheat.

The American Communist Party hasn’t run a presidential candidate since the 1990s. They decided it was too expensive, and they didn’t have a chance of winning, so they have simply backed whoever the Democrats nominated. That should tell you all you need to know about today’s Democrats.
