Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he would have not gone to an event in Connecticut if he had known it was linked to the Communist Party in an interview with the Hartford Courant.
On Dec. 11, Blumenthal spoke at the annual Amistad Awards ceremony hosted by the Connecticut People’s World Committee, which is associated with the Communist Party USA.
“My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event,” Blumenthal told the outlet Friday. “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.”
Blumenthal’s comments come after he received criticism from a number of Republicans, including the Connecticut GOP, because of the event’s association with the Communist Party.
What a lier. Always has been and always will be
Pantalones infiernos!

A Luciferian doing what they do best !
We need to pass it to know what is in it mentality again. Try a little research and a little less splainin Ricky!
The Doctrine and Collective in even the least successful of American Churches are more Communistic than anything embodied in our politics. People need to brush up on their Definition of Communism and the Boogie Man.
