Dem Senator Claims He Didn’t Know Event He Attended Was Linked to Communist Party — But Video Suggests Otherwise

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) issued a mea culpa Friday after he was caught attending an event linked to the Communist Party USA. . .

The Connecticut People’s World Committee hosted its annual Amistad Awards last Saturday, Dec. 11. Not only did Blumenthal attend the event, but he honored the award winners with “certificates of special recognition” from the United States Senate, according to the Yankee Institute.

The problem is: The Connecticut People’s World Committee is directly associated with the Communist Party USA, and last Saturday’s award ceremony was hosted in honor of the Communist Party USA’s 102nd birthday. . .

In an interview with the Hartford Courant, Blumenthal said he was unaware of the event’s links to the Communist Party USA, and said he would not have attended the event if he had known the ties.

“My understanding was that this ceremony was strictly a labor event. If I had known the details, I wouldn’t have gone,” Blumenthal said. “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.” (Read more from “Dem Senator Claims He Didn’t Know Event He Attended Was Linked to Communist Party — But Video Suggests Otherwise” HERE)
