I&#8217;d say he&#8217;s massively out of touch with Veterans in regards to Stolen Valor. If I had to guess, I&#8217;d say that a large number of members of the NRA are veterans, so by denigrating the NRA, Blumenthal is claiming veterans who are members of the NRA are out of touch with America &#8211; and since he&#8217;s out of touch with veterans, what the Hell does he know about the issue and who is in or out of touch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports that phony Vietnam veteran, Dick Blumenthal, Senator from Connecticut, is claiming that &hellip; <a title=\"Phony vet Blumenthal says NRA &#8216;out of touch&#8217;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35476\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Phony vet Blumenthal says NRA &#8216;out of touch&#8217;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35476\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
