The senior senator from my state of Connecticut, Democrat Richard Blumenthal, has a problem telling the truth. We all know about it here in the Nutmeg State. It hit the public consciousness when Lying Dick (as I call him) spent years falsely claiming to have seen combat in Vietnam. That lie almost cost him the election which got him to the Senate in the first place. For a Democrat, that's hard to do in Connecticut. Lying Dick, however, didn't stop there. For example, just this morning, he took to Twitter to condemn President Trump for creating a "humanitarian crisis" by issuing an order ending DACA. DACA is the program allowing illegal aliens who were brought here as children to register and get work permits allowing them to stay. Congress did not enact it; president Obama just issued an Executive Order putting it in place after first telling the nation more than 20 times that he did not have the power to do just that. Ten states were about to file a lawsuit to overturn DACA when Trump acted to cancel the program. The President put a six months period in place prior to cancellation and said that it was so that Congress could act before the program expired. Congress, not surprisingly, did not act. In fact, Blumenthal opposed every attempt at compromise that would have solved the looming "humanitarian crisis". That makes his lies even worse. Obama created this problem by not enforcing the border laws and by then illegally issuing an edict that the laws wouldn't be enforced for the DACA group. President Trump provided a way out. He even said that he would agree to a plan that would provide the DACA group a pathway to citizenship.
The facts never seem to matter to Senator Blumenthal. Lying Dick always lives up to his name.
