Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Friday that, had he known that the awards ceremony in which he gave remarks last weekend was linked to the Communist Party, he would not have attended.

He made an appearance at the Connecticut People's World Committee Amistad Awards on Saturday to give three people special recognition certificates from the U.S. Senate. The CPWC is an affiliate of the Communist Party USA and the Marxist People’s World news site.

"My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event," Blumenthal told 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."

Communist part? Democrats?

The fact he couldn’t tell the difference speaks volumes.

Has anyone or any media outlet ever investigated and done stories about the very cozy relationships that he and Murphy apparently have with the Iranians.

As for his wealth. They make it out like Blumenthal is some self-made millionaire or captain of industry. He married into money. And I’m quite sure that money is what enabled him to get elected, the first time, and is what keeps him there. The In-Laws need that inside info, don’t ya know?

Actually, him feeling the bed to apologize and distance himself from that event says something positive about the strength of the anti-leftist movement in this country.

They’re not lying more, it just becomes more and more obvious that they have been lying to our faces all along. And then you’re supposed to realize how badly you’ve been lied to, freak, and GIVE UP. That’s what the Great Reset is all about.

In other news, Blumenthal is not a child molester.....

But—he will have to be caught in the act before he can deny it.

In his defense, they were only spouting the Democrat party platform.

“Communist Party Ties”

Comrades! Are you still looking for that perfect gift for your Uncle for this bourgeois holiday?

Buy him a Communist Party Tie!

It’s sure to spur on conversation like, “You stupid bastard!” Or “Do you know how many millions of people died because of those communist sons of bitches?”

A great stocking stuffer!

That should have tipped off anyone with half a brain who’s been alive as long as he has. But then he is a U.S. Senator.
