It appears that Dick Blumenthal has been caught lying…again. The Democratic Senate nominee from Connecticut has claimed in the past that he has never accepted political contributions from political action committees (PACs). Federal records tell a far different story.

Richard Blumenthal’s words are haunting him again. Already forced to apologize for saying he had served “in” Vietnam in the Marine Reserve rather than stateside, the state attorney general’s campaign for U.S. Senate is now being challenged to explain his assertion that he had “never taken PAC money” and has “rejected all special interest money.”

Federal records show that he has accepted $480,000 in political action committee money since he made that claim in January. Moreover, his Republican opponent, former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, points to nearly $17,000 Blumenthal received as a state legislative candidate in the 1980s — a figure Blumenthal’s campaign does not dispute.

This isn’t the first time Blumenthal has been caught lying. Back in May, the New York Times reported that the Connecticut Attorney General had lied about his military service during Vietnam. Blumenthal had repeatedly claimed to have served in Vietnam during the war. In reality, Blumenthal never left the country during that period.

The Democratic Senate nominee is a pathological liar. He’s willing to say anything to win the election, and that should have voters in Connecticut extremely suspicious about his other claims on the campaign trail.
