At the height of hypocrisy (there are so MANY to choose from on the right side of that room), CT Dimmocrap Richard Blumenthal had the audacity to weigh in with this: ========== The senator asked Kavanaugh if he was familiar with "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus" which is a legal principle that dictates jurors can rule a witness to be false in everything if he says one thing that is not true.
"The core of why we're here is really, credibility," Blumenthal said Thursday, before drilling into a variety of things Kavanaugh said throughout the hearing Thursday, pressing him on the veracity of the statements. ==========
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped into Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) for lying about his military service and then questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's credibility.

“We have learned something important since the days that I SERVED IN VIETNAM,” Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. (caps added)
