President Donald Trump called for Sen. Richard Blumenthal to be investigated in a Truth Social post late Tuesday night, hours after the Democratic senator sparred with Attorney General Pam Bondi during a contentious Senate hearing.

Referencing decade-old allegations that Blumenthal “lied” about his military service in Vietnam, Trump said in the post, “This guy shouldn’t be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought.”

Shortly after, Blumenthal responded to Trump’s claims, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” that the allegations are “completely deceptive and distorted.” “This allegation of 15 years ago has been really rejected by the voters of Connecticut three times, overwhelmingly reelecting me,” Blumenthal said.

The senator acknowledged that he misspoke about his service on “a couple of occasions.” “I served in the reserves and I referred to my service ‘in Vietnam’ on a handful, just a couple of occasions, rather than ‘during Vietnam,’” Blumenthal told Collins. Blumenthal admitted in a 2010 New York Time story to misrepresenting his military service after saying that it had been “in” Vietnam. Blumenthal served in the Marine Reserves in Washington, and he was not deployed to Vietnam.

2. Did Dr. Larry Braunstein treat him too?

Has anyone actually had bone spurs at age 20? In young people they are associated with physical activity. Ahem. Athletes and dancers can get them. Otherwise they are a disease of age and generally begin around age 50.

3. Dementia Donald's got nothing new. He was yammering about this during his first term.

Let’s see what happens when a real crisis hits. Oh wait, we already know. But we have to see that movie again anyway. Yay!

5. So much quibbling

We live in an era of acronyms, but God forbid we use verbal shorthand. I can see Sen. Blumenthal shortening "served in the Vietnam Era" to "served in Vietnam." At least he served his country and continues to serve his country. Unlike the jackals in the trump regime, who want to destroy the U.S. and pile crap on the ruins.

Also, felon traitor doesn't shorten any of his constant lies, just repeats them over and over.

6. Another fucking DISTRACTION from TACO Don...

All this man is...A MASTER of DISTRACTION.

This will not be going anywhere because the people who elected him do not care. He apologized for that and was re-elected.

7. Trump should temper his impulse to try anyone for lying.

He is the lying king and he has 34,000 reasons to STFU or have investigations on his lies, which have actually costs lives.
