Medal of Honor Recipients Slam Sen. Blumenthal Over His 'Stolen Valor,' Hypocrisy on Gorsuch

Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

President Trump isn’t the only one calling out Sen. Richard Blumenthal for lying about serving in Vietnam—14 medal of honor recipients have joined the bandwagon and are using it to point out the senator’s hypocrisy on Judge Neil Gorsuch.

In an open letter published on The Washington Examiner, the Vietnam veterans write that by calling on his Senate colleagues to subject Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to “extreme vetting,” the Democratic senator from Connecticut is opening the door for Americans and veterans to “scrutinize [his] hypocrisy in doing so.”

“The fact you repeatedly and consistently claimed to have served in Vietnam is a gross case of stolen valor in our opinion. You obtained at least five military deferments between 1965 and 1970, at least two of which were seemingly political favors to you so that you could avoid joining us in a war zone,” they write, before listing examples of when the senator ‘inflated’ his record of service.

Speaking at a rally supporting troops overseas in 2003, Blumenthal said, “When we returned, we saw nothing like this.”

Iran on Monday rejected Israeli and Saudi claims that the Islamic Republic was a destabilizing force in the region, saying that it came as no surprise that Jerusalem and Riyadh share the same views.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi made the comments after both Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir each said at the Munich Security Conference on Sunday that Iran constitutes a threat to each of their countries, has not moderated its behavior in the wake of the 2015 nuclear deal and should face renewed economic pressure from the international community.

Lawmakers probe US embassy funding George Soros groups

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

This is skulduggery of the Obama’s State Department. And no enemedia coverage on this subterfuge.

Macedonia: Leading Republican House representative Christopher Smith announced an investigation in the activities of the US Embassy in Macedonia, and the allegations that it has acted in an openly partisan way in the past years, supporting the left wing SDSM party. The call comes after the Embassy failed to respond to a letter signed by Smith and five other GOP representatives, who demanded answers over meddling in domestic politics, but also over Embassy funding for activities of the George Soros led Foundation Open Society Macedonia.

“The US Ambassador should have absolutely no role in forming a Government and taking sides in putting together a coalition. That is not the place of the United States of America or its representative in Skopje. I asked specific questions in this letter. We asked, the group of members of the House of Representatives whether or not there was any collaboration with the center-left parties on when elections should take place. We should have no role in that! We should be talking about free and fair elections, unfettered access to the media, but in no way should we take sides. So, if this Ambassador has taken sides, he should be fired! He should be fired immediately!”, representative Smith told the Macedonian Television correspondent in Washington D.C.

Just a Thought..
The MSM...Public Enemy #1
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

I fully believe that in today's America public enemy #1 is the mainstream media who 'invents' the news and/or manipulates the news to fit their liberal handlers agenda. One key case in point...the Nazi's could NOT bring Europe to her knees but an invasion by young muslim men posing as refugees has. Germany has fallen and so has Sweden with France NOT far behind. Great Britain tries to fight back but they too are losing to the likes of a radical muslim London mayor they themselves elected. But does the media report the truth about this...NO...to the media it's all about 'inclusion.'

And here in our country we have a president who is trying to stop this invasion from reaching our shores and the media is working against him every step of the way. Makes me wonder who really signs the media's paychecks...an American or an Arab/muslim.
