As the news cycle continues to be dominated by Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process and the new FBI investigation, President Donald Trump took a swipe on Twitter this afternoon at one of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has been very outspoken about Kavanaugh and the hearings.

“Senator Richard Blumenthal must talk about his fraudulent service in Vietnam,” Trump tweeted, “where for 12 years he told the people of Connecticut, as their Attorney General, that he was a great Marine War Hero. Talked about his many battles of near death, but was never in Vietnam. Total Phony!”

Trump is referring to the scandal during Blumenthal’s 2010 campaign for Senate when The New York Times found false claims he made about his service during Vietnam.

And this isn’t the first time Trump’s brought it up to go after Blumenthal:

10. and where were you cadet bone spurs . five time dodger .

[Gothmog]

11. A coward like trump talking about military service is offensive

[oneshooter]

12. STOLEN VALOR

I can tell that all of you support this. So sad.

Sen. Blumenthal claimed service in Vietnam, this is a lie, he NEVER saw service in the Military.

That you support his FALSE claim must mean that a liar , as long as he is a D MUST be supported. You turn your backs on Vietnam Vets when you do this.

[SFnomad]

13. You must have reading comprehension problems

I don't see anyone supporting Blumenthal lying about his service in Vietnam.

What I do see are many people saying that Cadet Bone Spurs doesn't have much room to talk. But tRump is also lying about what Blumenthal has said as well. But we expect that at this point.

17. Blumenthal was a sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve

He wasn't in Vietnam.
He WAS in the military.

14. WHY POST THIS ROTTEN CRAP?? WHO CARES WHAT THIS WORTHLESS ORANGUTAN THINKS!

[QED]

15. My RWNJ BIL posted a meme about this yesterday.

It called Blumenthal slimy, etc. I countered with a link to 46-1 on Howard Stern saying avoiding STDs was his Vietnam.

Guess this is the new RW theme. It's what they do when they have no policies to brag about, no ideas, no class. Rile up the base, that's their one skill.

16. One lie compared to thousands from the cheeto in chief.
