<p style="font-weight: 400;">Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, who was famously accused years ago of lying by claiming he had served in Vietnam, implied <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pam-bondi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pam Bondi</a> was lying in some of her replies at her hearing for Attorney General, prompting her to directly confront the insinuation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I am really troubled, deeply disturbed and troubled by some of your responses and non-responses to the questions that you’ve been asked today,” Blumenthal stated. “You say the right things, that you’re going to be the people’s lawyer. That’s what you have to say to be here, but I believe being the people’s lawyer means you have to say no to the President of the United States; you have to speak truth to power; you have to be able to say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bondi tersely responded, “Senator, first, I need to clarify something that you said, that I ‘have’ to sit up here and say these things. No, I don’t. I sit up here and speak the truth. I’m not going to sit up here and say anything that I need to say to get confirmed by this body. I don’t ‘have’ to say anything.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/18/nyregion/18blumenthal.html?pagewanted=all&amp;referer=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in 2010 of Blumenthal’s actions:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>“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. “And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it — Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditional support.” </em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/15/nyregion/15blumenthal.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now running for the United States Senate</a>, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records. &#8230;</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Sometimes his remarks have been plainly untrue, as in his speech to the group in Norwalk. At other times, he has used more ambiguous language, but the impression left on audiences can be similar. &#8230; In at least eight newspaper articles published in Connecticut from 2003 to 2009, he is described as having served in Vietnam. &#8230; It does not appear that Mr. Blumenthal ever sought to correct those mistakes.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Blumenthal once <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_MAB-bX7Ug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a>, “Now, on a few occasions, I have misspoken about my service, and I regret that and I take full responsibility.”</p>
