MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) – Was it something I said?

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal might have been thinking just that after a near brush with death during a press conference Friday at the Milford Metro-North station.

Just as Milford Mayor Ben Blake started to say, “safety, as you know, is paramount,” a train came whooshing by the platform, inches from the senator who had his back turned and was partly standing on the yellow line.

The press conference was called after Blumenthal slammed Metro-North Railroad for collecting $552,000 in fines over the past decade for safety violations and defects.

There is a reason why they put a yellow line there.
It's a wonder the station master didn't say something about them setting up the news conference right there on the platform.

[Gaffer]

So, the opening didn’t say Republican and thus I am likely considering correctly a Democrat, right?

As my Momma always said; Stupid is as stupid does.

He need to drop the fines to the METRO company, and fine himself for being so stupid. A U.S Senator...he crossed the line. FINE HIM.

It would not have made any difference. The retards of Connecticut would just vote in another one just like him.

The TV show House of Cards is closer to the truth when it comes to corrupt politicians in Washington and the Democrat party.

Close but no cigar...

Politicians telling us all what to do instead of minding their own business. Pretty symbolic.

Of course. And even in the WTNHNews8 video clip, the reportard and reportardette did not disclose that Blumenthal was a Demonrat.

“Reportard and Reportardett.” I like that.. Where’s the damn “LIKE” button on this forum?”

As Bugs Bunny once said....

Ah ha ha ha

What a Maroon!
