“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 shouldnt 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!” @realDonaldTrump
