Disgusting: Sen. Blumenthal Throws Tantrum After Amy Coney Barrett Hearing, Calls For Protests "In The Streets"

 Ryan Ledendecker  "While it’s not surprising that Senate Democrats are still upset over the fact that they actually had to do their elected, Constitutional job and trudge through several days of SCOTUS confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett, it is at least a tad bit shocking that Sen. Richard Blumenthal is calling for protests in the streets over it.

"According to Twitchy, a Twitter post from Fox News reporter quotes Sen. Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, as essentially saying since Democrat in the Senate can’t really do anything to stop Barrett’s inevitable nomination, it’s up to the American people to take over the fight.

"Part of that fight, as Blumenthal’s call-to-action suggests, is protests — maybe even violence — in the streets.

" 'Dem CT Sen Blumenthal on Barrett: Our main and last best hope is for the American people to tell my colleagues..vote against this nominee and delay it until after the election. Those p rotests have to occur outside Washington, or even in the streets,” Pergram tweeted." . . .

"What’s even more reprehensible about Blumenthal’s call to protest “even in the streets” is the fact that for nearly the entire summer and beyond, liberal protesters have, in fact, occupied the streets of American cities and many of them — especially in cities like Portland — are literally awaiting marching orders.

"They’re waiting for any excuse to continue their “protests,” which usually morph into fire-starting and the theft of big screen televisions, only later to be hailed by the liberal mainstream media as heroes.

"Though Blumenthal is probably not the radical leftist general from which angry liberals were hoping to receive orders, should protests break out in the process of Barrett’s confirmation and result in even more destruction to small businesses, Blumenthal should be held accountable for their actions." . . .

Blumenthal did lead voters in Connecticut to believe he was a Vietnam veteran when, in fact, he was never deployed to Vietnam.  "He obtained at least five deferments and later served in the Marine Reserve in the Washington area, according to a New York Times article in 2010.   There's no evidence Blumenthal boasted of near-death experiences, or claimed to be a war hero; he did make false claims about returning back from war or serving in Vietnam." . . .
