Before we delve into the specifics, I'll first opine that Connecticut Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal personifies all that's wrong with today's Democrat Party as well as, or more than, anyone else in Congress.
Blumenthal is a smug, beyond-arrogant, deceitful-as-can-be, Trump-loathing hack, whose lies — including about serving in the U.S. military in the Vietnam War— have come back to bite him in the behind, again.
In other words, Blumenthal remains the worst of the worst — seemingly intentionally so.
Anyway, President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for an investigation into Blumenthal and his past statements about his military record, following the senator's fiery exchange with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi during a congressional hearing, one in which the AG exposed to America the hypocritical coward that the veteran senator is.

So Trump, whose knack for dropping hilarious nicknames on his opponents is legendary, this time used a nickname that has plagued Blumenthal in the past, as he ripped into the senator in a Truth Social post like nobody's business.
Buckle up — here we go (emphasis, mine):
Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam.
Stop the tape.
"Da Nang Dick," How can anyone not love that? Except for the TDS-riddled left, that is. Oh, and Blumenthal himself, of course.

Trump continued, obviously enjoying himself as he ripped "Da Nang Dick" to shreds:
He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD.
The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. [sic]
This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!
Here's more:
Blumenthal has served in the Senate since 2011 from the northeastern state of Connecticut -- which borders Trump's home state of New York -- and received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1970. He never served in Southeast Asia.
Blumenthal issued a statement about his military record remarks during his initial Senate campaign in 2010, saying he had "not been as clear or precise as I should have been about my service in the Marine Corps Reserves," according to CBS News.
In 2017, during Trump's first term in office, Blumenthal sued the president on suspicion of violating the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits government officials from accepting gifts. The case was eventually dismissed.
Not to defend Blumenthal, which will never happen, but he's far from the only senator or congressman to lie about his or her past. Why I seem to remember a certain former Democrat president who, throughout his more than 50 years in D.C. politics, plagiarized, embellished, and flat-out lied until the time he left office.
That said, "Da Nang Dick" Blumenthal continues to display a "special" kind of arrogance.
