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.’'

‘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.
The BS is getting deep!!! Never did anything for Connecticut in his public life... Ruined UConn Athletics... Could've save the Whalers... A done nothing...
Even if he actually didn’t know (HAH!), at least one person, if not all people, on his staff did.
Wait, I wasn’t a war hero and shouldn’t have gone to that communist evet, are you satisfied now!!!
what happened to the democrat’s usual “in your face double down” responce on this eff up? This commie dirt bag needs to be removed from office by his colleagues, clearly he is in cahoots with the communist enemies of this USA.
Commies = liars
