Katy Tur defends 'a few misplaced words' by Blumenthal about Vietnam service
By Joe Concha - 10/01/18 05:19 PM EDT

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur defended Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) from President Trump's criticism this week, saying the senator "took full responsibility for what he called a few misplaced words" regarding his false claim that he served in Vietnam.

The defense comes as President Trump argued Monday that his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, was treated unfairly by Democratic senators and specifically Blumenthal during testimony before the Supreme Court Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

“Look at Blumenthal. Lied about Vietnam for 15 years, and he said he was a war hero,” Trump said to reporters in the Rose Garden. “He said he was Da Nang Richard.”

“He says we need honesty and we need integrity," Trump continued. "This guy lied. When he was the attorney general of Connecticut, he lied. I do not mean a little bit.”

After Tur played the clip of Trump's remarks on Blumenthal, she ran a fact check on their veracity.

Trump should keep having arguments with the press.  They're so stupid, they will just prove his point.
