Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said that if former President Donald Trump were to pardon convicted January 6 rioters after re-election in 2024, his actions would warrant an impeachment process. Sen. Blumenthal told a CNN reporter on Thursday that a Trump pardon of the January 6 prisoners would be a betrayal of America’s trust.

Donald Trump’s long reach, effectively anointing political newcomer Leora Levy to challenge second-term U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, has changed the face of the Connecticut Republican Party while insinuating MAGA grievances into the entire fall campaign for governor, top-of-the-ticket constitutional officers and the 187-seat General Assembly. Political scientists in the state said that while Trump’s late-campaign support in blue-state Connecticut was surprising, it’s always the party base that is most-energized for primaries and Levy channeled it to handily defeat party-endorsed Themis Klarides, the former state House minority leader who won the endorsement at the May conventions. “The Trump effect was as...

Leora Levy won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate Tuesday. Levy defeated her two Republican challengers Themis Klarides and Peter Lumaj. ... Levy will take on take on Senator Richard Blumenthal in November. Last week Levy, who is a Greenwich businesswoman, got the endorsement from former President Donald Trump. ... Today, voters across Connecticut sent a clear message that they are ready for a political outsider to fight for the families, taxpayers, small businesses and the hardworking people of our great state. Forty-year high inflation, record gas prices, failing energy policies, an invasion at our southern border, an assault on...

"I think that the endorsement is a net positive for Leora, but probably too little and too late," said one Connecticut GOP consultant who requested anonymity. "His endorsement came Thursday night, so too late for any direct mail pieces to hit before Tuesday. Sure, she's been texting and pumping it through social media, but I do not think it will saturate enough to make enough of a difference. "If this was a month ago, I'd be concerned if I was Themis, but at this point, I think it is probably too late." Another factor working in Klarides' favor is that...

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is "furious" over the Biden administration delaying flights with Americans trying to escape Afghanistan after President Biden’s botched troop withdrawal. The senator from Connecticut issued a press release on Monday eviscerating the Biden administration for delaying flights out of the Mazar-e Sharif airport in Afghanistan following reports of the administration not giving the evacuation flights the green light.

I have previously criticized Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., for his almost unrivaled advocacy of censorship and speech controls. Blumenthal previously threatened social media companies not to “backslide” in censoring opposing views. Now, Blumenthal is taking up the cudgel of court packing with not so subtle threats to conservative justices that, if they do not vote with their liberal colleagues, the Court may be fundamentally altered. He is not alone in such reckless and coercive rhetoric. Blumenthal told The Hill: “It will inevitably fuel and drive an effort to expand the Supreme Court if this activist majority betrays fundamental constitutional principles....

Donald J. Trump ‏ Verified account ~9:30pm EST @realDonaldTrump How does Da Nang Dick (Blumenthal) serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee when he defrauded the American people about his so called War Hero status in Vietnam, only to later admit, with tears pouring down his face, that he was never in Vietnam. An embarrassment to our Country!

Democratic Sen. Dick Blumenthal of Connecticut said Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh would be “untruthful” if he fails “to acknowledge at least some” of the sexual assault allegations made against him by Christine Blasey Ford at Thursday’s hearing. . . “These allegations are made under oath by a woman, a survivor, who would lose her livelihood if she is incorrect, and … has presented corroborating witnesses,” he continued.

Dick Blumenthal has released a new ad, "Fight for You." Dick reminds us that that he has stood up for us in the past, but what he has done to prove it is not mentioned, but we will know if we vote for him and send him to DC.

Linda McMahon stumps liberal Dick Blumenthal by asking him the simple question, "How do you create a job?" Blumenthal stammers like an idiot. When he gets done, Linda McMahon schools him on the correct answer. Video is here.

Dick Blumenthal Stumped On How To Create A Job

In his latest TV ad Dick Blumenthal shows how he has saved or created Jobs, by going after GM when they wanted to close a Cadillac dealer in Meriden CT. He stood up to GM and forced them to allow Alderman Motors sell new cars again. What a man! Eventually Rep. Chris Murphy (D), Blumenthal (D), and Reps. from Dodd (D) and Lieberamn (I) showed up to congratulate them. And they are proud of it on their website. http://www.aldermancadillac.com/

Dick Blumenthal released an ad about his role as CT AG in protecting Long Island Sound by stopping a pipeline and natural gas terminal. But not to worry, if elected he will stand up to Big Oil and will stop all future deep water drilling, end tax "giveaways" to "big energy" and in the process somehow create clean energy jobs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR6A3d2vkcY

Here's a sampling of reaction to the revelation that Attorney General Richard "Rambo" Blumenthal, the Democratic U.S. senatorial candidate, falsely claims he served in the Vietnam war: "Lame excuses for Semper Lie; Conn. pol admits he's no 'Nam vet" — New York Post headline "What else has he been lying about? — Andrew Breitbart, echoing the thoughts of millions "This Dick Blumenthal even looks a little like Eliot Spitzer. And now it turns out ... even Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than he did." — Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr "Vietnam is apparently not (his) only lie. Last...

This Dick Blumenthal even looks a little like Eliot Spitzer. And now it turns out, as somebody said yesterday, even Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than he did. We’re talking about Connecticut Atty. Gen. Dick Blumenthal - you can call him “General.” .....

I think he left out the word "deliberately" when saying he misspoke, this is Dick Blumenthal's presser today, surrounded by veterans..(Video)
