Unctious Blumental, Hypocrit Extraordinaire

Richard Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam. He never set foot in Vietnam, but had the gall to call the Kavanaugh nomination a "stain" on the Supreme Court.  He is a "stain" on the Senate along with a long list of Senators.  He is infamous and posting his story all over the Internet about a lying "Stolen Valor" Senator will hopefully expose him.  His power in the US Senate is nothing compared to a free press, which we no longer have.  Major media favors this skunk with a "Connecticut lock-jaw, upper class accent!"

Blumenthal was an attorney and a United States Senator from Connecticut since 2011, a Democrat.  Connecticut's Senior Senator since 2013 and the second wealthiest member of the Senate. He was the Attorney General of Connecticut from 1991 to 2011 preceding that office with a private Law practice.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended Riverdale Country School, a private school in the Bronx. He is a graduate of Harvard College.  He studied for a year at Trinity College, Cambridge, in England before Yale Law School and was Editor-In-Chief of the Yale Law Journal.  While at Yale, he was a classmate of future  President Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Blumenthal served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, attained the rank of Sergeant.

Blumenthal served as Administrative Assistant. From 1977 to 1981, he was  United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. In the early 1980s he worked in private law practice, including serving as volunteer counsel for the  NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He served in the  Connecticut House of Representatives from 1985 to 1987, when he was elected to the Connecticut Senate. He was elected  Attorney General of Connecticut in 1990, and served for twenty years. During this period he was frequently speculated as a contender for Governor of Connecticut, but he never pursued the office.

Blumenthal announced his 2010 run for U.S. Senate after incumbent Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd announced his retirement. He faced professional wrestling magnate Linda McMahon, who had little appeal in Connecticut in the 2010 election, winning by a 12-point margin with 55 percent of the vote, but not a great victory by any serious analysis. On January 5, 2011, he was sworn in and took seats on the Senate Armed Services; Judiciary; Aging; and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committees.  

He became Connecticut's senior senator after the retirement of  Joe Lieberman in 2013. He won re-election in 2016 with 63.2% of the vote, becoming the first person to achieve more than one million votes in a statewide election in Connecticut.

Senator Blumenthal endorsed Mrs. Blasey-Ford's unsupported allegations of attack by now Justice Kavanaugh, many times in a move that could prove fatal to our Constitution much in a way a single, tiny crack in a wine glass tells you it is not long for the table.

While there is much to be said for Mr. Blumenthal's record we find his flaws fatal and not acceptable for one serving in the US Senate. We would hope that the good people of Connecticut would remove him at their first opportunity.
