The senator was introduced by a Communist Party member who claimed corporations are responsible for imperialism and implored everyone to join the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you all. This is a beautiful tribute from all our labor leaders honoring how important the Communist Party is,\u201d said Lisa Bergmann, Communist Party USA member. \u201cAnd today, now we have a very special surprise guest, our state Senator Richard Blumenthal is here to be part of the awards today and to share some appreciations and recognitions of the awardees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Democrats have been trying to downplay their party\u2019s association with socialist and communist groups, with the ideology that killed an estimated 100 million people in the last century.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Some highlights of Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal and his introducer at the Connecticut People\u2019s World Committee, an affiliate of Communist Party USA. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w5CvV7tGzy\">pic.twitter.com\/w5CvV7tGzy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kerpen\/status\/1470910903377965060?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/poll-nev-gop-gubernatorial-candidates-leading-over-democrat-gov-sisolak\/\">Poll: Nev.
