Sen. Blumenthal expresses regret for attending Communist awards show
FOX News ^ | 12/18/21 | Timothy Nerozzi

Posted on 12/18/2021 4:28:21 PM PST by Levy78

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said in an interview on Friday that he regretted attending a communist award show last week.

The senator spoke at the Amsted Award ceremony on Dec. 11, where he honored the recipients with an honorary certificate. Speakers at the event regularly encouraged attendees to register with the Communist Party.

"My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event,’' Blumenthal said Friday in a telephone interview with 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.’'

I'm sure it was an accident. He meant to turn left at Albuquerque. Apology accepted.

Just kidding.

Communism - Leftwing, Democrat Party = Leftwing, Democrats =(more or less) Communists.

No, that’s not jingoistic, and yes it pretty much is really that simple.

‘Tis better to ask forgiveness rather than to beg for permission.

This arse-whole is hardly being contrite because what are we gonne do? The event is over ... it is history ... nothing can change that. I’m sure he is muttering “f**k the whole bunch of you” as he walks away from the mike.
