Richard Blumenthal the "WAR HERO"

[AzogtheDefiler]

At last week’s fiery hearing probing sexual assault allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal lectured the Supreme Court nominee on the implications of telling even a single lie.

“Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus,” Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Kavanaugh, reciting a Latin phrase. “It means 'False in one thing, false in everything.'”


But Blumenthal’s own difficult history with the truth is coming back to haunt him amid the Kavanaugh fight, with President Trump and Republican senators slamming him for inflating his military service during the Vietnam War.

In the 2000s, when Blumenthal served as Connecticut’s attorney general, he began to claim that he served in the Vietnam War. Blumenthal, repeatedly, has touted his experience during the war.

“When we returned [from Vietnam], we saw nothing like this,” Blumenthal reportedly said in 2003.

“We have learned something important since the days I served in Vietnam,” The New York Times quoted Blumenthal as saying in 2008.

“I served during the Vietnam era,” Blumenthal reportedly said at a Vietnam War memorial in 2008. “I remember the taunts, the insults, sometimes even the physical abuse.”

But Blumenthal didn’t serve in Vietnam. He reportedly obtained at least five military deferments between 1965 and 1970. He eventually served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, but did not deploy to Vietnam.

In the wake of Blumenthal questioning Kavanaugh -- who faces multiple sexual assault or misconduct allegations, which he denies -- Trump and fellow Republicans have not let him forget his own past statements.

“You have the great Vietnam War hero—who didn’t go to Vietnam—[Sen. Richard] Blumenthal,” Trump said at a rally Monday evening. “How about Blumenthal? We call him ‘Da Nang Blumenthal.”

Blumenthal, last week, said Trump’s initial reluctance to demand a FBI supplemental background probe of Kavanaugh was “tantamount to a cover-up.” Blumenthal hit Kavanaugh during the hearing on questions related to his high school yearbook entries, calendar entries and drinking habits.

“For 15 years as the attorney general of Connecticut, he went around telling war stories,” Trump said. “’People dying left and right—but my platoon marched forward!’ He was never in Vietnam. It was a lie. And then he’s up there saying, ‘We want the truth from Judge Kavanaugh.’ And you’re getting the truth from Judge Kavanaugh.”

During the Kavanaugh hearing, Blumenthal said “the core of why we are here today really is credibility.”

It's amazing. Just amazing.

Personally, as a Conservative, I'm glad the democrat Party killed off Joe Lieberman and JFK and replaced them with a Klansman, a guy who made sure his pregnant girlfriend was dead in the back of his car before he called the police and a fucking lying unrepentant Stolen Valor scumbag who has the absolute fucking nerve to lecture ANYONE about ANYTHING!

Much like Pelosi, Avenetti, Sheila Jackson, Maxine, Ellison, etc. - I say Praise Allah for our democrat Leaders!

Well, I can't find it, but just today Blumenthal said that the FBI needs to talk to his list of 24 or 27 people. He then quipped [paraphrased] But make no mistake. This is just the beginning. There will be more people to talk to."

He just gave away the entire blueprint of what the Democrats are all about.

I hope so, but I don't do predictions.

We thank Blumenthal for his service...

For the record, my wife as a witness, I told her after Blumenthal attacked Kav aggressively and Trump as I recall (though I forget what it was exactly he said) that "Trump is going to bring up his War Story during a rally, you watch".

Hey, I was close, he brought it up during an Internationally televised news conference to announce the biggest trade deal in history". Trump is a counter puncher, as he's said.
