Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Republican Linda McMahon clashed in their final televised debate Tuesday night, attacking each other’s credibility before an unruly, partisan crowd.
The mood at the Garde Arts Center was testy from the outset, befitting what has become a close and hard-fought campaign for the U.S. Senate.
“I think the question is, if she has treated the people who work for her the way she has, how will she treat the people who vote for her?” Blumenthal said in a closing statement that invoked his sharp denunciations of McMahon’s business practices as the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment.
McMahon, slamming Blumenthal’s misstatement of his military service record, threw the longtime attorney general’s insistence that “the people of Connecticut know me” back at him.
What voters know, she said, is that Blumenthal “has trouble telling the truth.”
