| Did not go to Vietnam War |
Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT) appeared at the Connecticut People's World Committee Amistad Awards (CPWC) a Communist Party affiliate political advocacy organization. He appeared at the commie event to hand out certificates of special recognition to the three communist recipients of the awards and was introduced as a "surprise guest."
"We invite you to join the Communist Party in this epic time as we make good trouble to uproot systemic racism, retool the war economy, tax the rich, address climate change, secure voting rights and create a new socialist system that puts people, peace and planet before profits," emcee comrade Ben McManus told the communist audience.
"I'm here to honor the great tradition of activism and standing up for individual workers that is represented by the three honorees here," comrade Blumenthal, a fake Vietnam War hero said, and also pushed Biden's Build Back Better blah blah blah bull.
"There’s a lot to be working for in economic justice, in racial equity, in establishing a $15 minimum wage and holding corporations accountable for the basic treatment of the American people. We need to look at our entire tax system, beginning with Build Back Better."
By economic justice Blumenthal means taking from the rich [except not him, although he is one of the richest senators in Congress with assets nearing $100 million] and redistributing their money to people who haven't earned it.
By racial equity, he means equal outcomes for all whether they have put in the work or otherwise earned it, which in the long run destroys incentive.
While a $15 minimum wage will force businesses like fast food, for example, that hire young people who live with their parents, to raise prices so that people who eat at these establishments, will pay more. And the irony is, the people who eat there are less able to afford higher prices.
By holding corporations accountable for the basic treatment of the American people, Blumenthal is not including the tech giants who only hold conservatives accountable for saying things they disagree with by censoring their voices. They even did it to an American President on the other side of the political aisle.
Blumenthal also spoke out against the filibuster, which he said "has been misused by Republicans again and again and again."
The filibuster is not "misused" by anyone. It's entire purpose is to limit the powers of the majority party. When the Republicans have the majority, the Democrats love the filibuster and vice-versa.
In concluding his remarks, the communist senator thanked the audience for "your help and support over many, many years."

Putting all his glee aside, once this ambassador of stolen valor got outed for his attendance at a Communist award ceremony, he expressed regret for having done so in a telephone interview Friday with the Hartford Courant. The fraud claimed that he thought the ceremony "was strictly a labor event."
"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.’' Especially when he gets caught at a Communist award event.
But rather than walking out after emcee Ben McManus clearly invited the audience to "join the Communist Party," Blumenthal stayed and participated in the event, pretending that he goes to so many that he just didn't realize what McManus meant when he invited everyone to join the Communist Party.
If you believe that excuse, well there's no convincing you otherwise.
China is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party on Thursday. If Blumenthal gets an invitation to attend, do you think he'll go?
