President Donald Trump ripped into Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT) in a Truth Social post Tuesday night.
Trump’s post came after Blumenthal got into a heated exchange with Attorney General Pam Bondi during a senate hearing on Tuesday.
Blumenthal had raged against Bondi, and also claimed President Trump has committed “weaponization of government” for calling for certain people to be investigated, including NY AG Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff, former FBI director James Comey and others.
At one point, Bondi fired back at Blumenthal, “I am not going to be lectured about integrity by someone who lied about being in the military just to be elected a senator!”
Trump picked up where Bondi left off. He wrote in a fiery Truth Social post:
Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again!
“Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam.
He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” – And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year.
This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!
