Lib TV News Ignores Sen. Blumenthal Attending Communist Party Event

On Friday, senator stolen valor a.k.a. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal in Connecticut (CT). I apologized for my error and plead ignoranceIt was discovered that the man had attended an event associated with the Communist Party USA on the weekend before. This story was aired last week by ABC, CBS and NBC without any airtime.

“My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event. If I had known the details, I wouldn’t have gone,” the Senator said in a statement on Friday. “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.’’

Adding: “I go to a lot of events, places, meetings, rallies, and ceremonies in Connecticut. I’m delighted to be invited anywhere, and in this instance, I was invited by local labor unions to honor these three individuals, and that’s why I was there.”

“Following increasing criticism from Republicans and conservative media outlets nationwide, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Friday that he would not have attended a recent awards ceremony if he knew it had been tied to the Communist Party,” wrote capitol bureau chief Christopher Keating.

Keep in mind that when a liberal media member claims communism or socialism, they are referring to Republican boogiemen who used fear to gag.
