As reported by The Daily Caller, President Trump had this to say about ‘Da Nang’ Richard’s vote against Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to the Supreme Court.
“Look at Blumenthal. Lied about Vietnam for 15 years, and he said he was a war hero,” Trump said. “He said he was Da Nang Richard.”
The president continued, “He says we need honesty and we need integrity. This guy lied. When he was the attorney general of Connecticut, he lied. I do not mean a little bit.”
Trump appeared to have referenced Blumenthal’s question to Judge Brett Kavanaugh during a hearing on decades-old sexual allegations against the Supreme Court nominee. “The core of why we are here today really is credibility,” the Senator said in his opening remarks.
“Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus is a Latin phrase meaning “false in one thing, false in everything.” At common law, it is the legal principle that a witness who testifies falsely about one matter is not credible to testify about any matter.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped into Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Thursday for lying about his military service and then questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s credibility.
“@SenBlumenthal lied for years about serving in Vietnam, which is all you need to know about his courage & honesty,” Cotton, who is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, tweeted during the questioning. “Maybe he should reconsider before questioning Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility.”
Blumenthal has said he served in Vietnam, when he in fact sought at least five military deferments and eventually landed a spot in the Marine Reserve, where he was essentially guaranteed not to serve in the conflict itself, The New York Times reports.
Update…Update!! It’s a tie with Senator Cory Booker.
He tosses this cheap parting shot after embarrassing himself questioning Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Over his shoulder (so-to-speak), after his time had expired, he says, “Judge, do you believe Anita Hill?” Thus he steals the title of today’s “Pencil-neck, Pin-dick, Bug-fucker” from Democratic Senator Richard “The Original Dick” Durban. What an ‘effing clown show these Democrats are.
