#3 Ned Lamont needs to be reminded that his grandfather was a Stalinist communist way back when.

Corliss Lamont was an unapologetic Stalinist and atheist. Congress once declared him "probably the most persistent propagandist for the Soviet Union to be found anywhere in the United States." As national chairman of The Friends of Soviet Russia, he refused to condemn Josef Stalin's show trials in the 1930s.

I wonder what Ned Lamont would have to say if confronted by Ukranians today? Would he loudly condemn Joe Stalin?

Actually, I'm not sure he would.

#5 Ioseb Jughashvili, the pride of communism, proved he could kill more of his own people, and faster, than could Hitler

Which is why Saddam Hussein called him the greatest leader in history.
