“PEOPLE’S World Committee”

Anyone in his position with his background knows EXACTLY what the term “People’s” means - which is COMMUNIST. He’s flat-out lying - bottom line is that he didn’t expect to be outed.

(and by the way FR’s, the word “People’s” is in the title of the American History textbook in the ‘wonderful’ public school you send your kids to)

Richard Blumenthal:

“I didn’t know this blatantly communist group was a communist group.”

“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.”

Pure Communist Taqiyyah. Out of all this, his claim to being a consistent Democrat smells true.

So, he doesn’t recognize his own politics?

Almost all democrats in power now are progressives, which nowadays is the same as socialists and communists.

He knew full well what the event was all about.

His staffers knew for sure—but since they are all Communists they did not see an issue.

Any organization that has “peoples” in the title is a communist organization.

If you want the undoctored information, go here:

This group is not invisible and has been active with the democrats for many years concerning unions and delivering votes and platforms to the public and for the socialists. He knew exactly who they were before he got on the plane unless he lives under a rock somewhere. Another liberal lie.

Communism’s first victim is always the communist himself.

Senator Blumenthal remains blithely unaware of these distinctions, and cannot be troubled to actually ascertain how the objectives of command-and-control philosophies differ in any way from his own. One of God’s children though he may be, still over time SOME kind of judgment about the relative worth of given points of view should have evolved, if for no other reason than personal growth and maturity.

But, of course, no such self-awareness has ever emerged.

No doubt he thought(?) it was a gathering of Amway distributors or maybe Charles Chips folks. No?

He didn’t suspect that something called the People’s World Committee was Communist? Yeah, right!

Maybe “They told me they were big fans of Marx and Lenin and I thought they meant Groucho and the late Beatle. I got confused, okay, gimme a break.”

“When they said everybody in the big auditorium hates America, wants to fundamentally change and overthrow it, hates Trump, wants trillions to go to people who never work, and wants a closer relationship with Marxists overseas ——I smiled and said ‘hey, pals, me, too, count me in.’ I was sure they meant the Dem Party.”

Let me just say very emphatically, I’m a Democrat and a strong believer in American capitalism.

In 2021 there's no way you can be both.

He is a damn liar. But that is redundant all that needs to be said is that he is a Senator. He would not know the truth if it walked up to him and bit him on the ass.

"People are going to do what they’re going to do. I’m just going to keep doing my job for the people of Connecticut...

"People will do what they do." That's what Nancy Pelosi said in answer to a question about the destruction of a Christopher Columbus statue in Baltimore in July 2020.

that’s nice that you support “American Capitalism”

How about a condemnation of communism?
