CNN: Trump Blasts ‘Vietnam Con Artist’ Richard Blumenthal on Twitter

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: "Let's look at what he had to say. 'Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!' He continued, 'Never in U.S. history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?' So as you know there, Wolf, the President is referring to a 2010 controversy when Blumenthal made repeated remarks that he had served in Vietnam, though it was later cleared up that he had served his full service here in the United States. It's a familiar attack that the President has used often to criticize Blumenthal, but it really gives us some insight into how the President spent his morning here in rainy New Jersey, on Twitter and watching TV."
