Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie),now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?

On May 17, 2010, according to the New York Times, he delivered a speech in Norwalk, Connecticut, in which he referred to having served "in Vietnam".[101] In 2003 Blumenthal appeared to have suggested that he had been among those returning from Vietnam.[102] The campaign of a prospective Blumenthal opponent, Republican Linda McMahon, briefly posted on its website that her campaign research team had found video footage of the speech and provided the story to The Times.[103][104] After the Times story was published, Rasmussen Reports indicated that Blumenthal's lead over McMahon had shrunk to three percentage points.[105] Politico covered criticism of the Times, including from the left, which noted that Blumenthal had accurately described his military service record at the outset of his Norwalk speech by saying he had "served in the military during the Vietnam era in the Marine Corps". Politico also quoted Times editor Bill Keller writing that Blumenthal's introductory statement "does not contradict his later statement that he served ‘in Vietnam’".[106] Connecticut's The Day newspaper, meanwhile, stated that its staff could find no articles in its archives with any suggestion by Blumenthal that he had served in Vietnam but also noted the 2003 and 2008 occasions. It quoted Blumenthal defending his representation of his military service: "On a few occasions, I have misspoken about my service and I regret that. I take full responsibility, but I will not allow anyone to take a few misplaced words and impugn my record of military service."[103] Blumenthal's commanding officer in 1974 and 1975, Larry Baldino of Woodbridge, Connecticut, addressed the misspeaking in a letter to the editor to the New Haven Register. Baldino opined that the misleading statement was too 'petty' to be the basis for supporting or not supporting Blumenthal. Baldino further portrayed Blumenthal as 'good natured' and described him as 'one of the best Marines with whom I ever worked'.[107]

* It also takes chutzpah for someone who received five draft deferments for a bone spur to question another person's military record, especially when he served as a Marine Reserve.

BTW, I don't even know if it qualifies as a white lie, an ambiguity, or deliberate ambiguity.

1. Normalcy doesn't apply to Donald Trump

We all know this. The cognitive disconnect of his followers never ceases to baffle me.

2. Remember when we were instructed to treat Bush's & Quayle's Guard service like actual combat service

I can't keep up.

3. Normalcy doesn't apply to Republicans

Neither do morals, laws, consistency nor patriotism. I could go on but you already know this!

4. What do you expect...

From the Deferment in Chief who equated his time at a military boarding school with actual military service, the fraud who gladly took a Purple Heart from a vet, the charlatan who saw no issue bashing a Gold Star family because they were Muslim. Twitler's hypocrisy knows no bounds!
