The wife of Alexander Vindman, the man behind Donald Trump’s impeachment, mocked the attempted assassination of Donald Trump Sunday afternoon at the hands of a fellow Ukraine loyalist.
“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” Rachel Vindman wrote, dismissing the attempted killing of a former president and making light of how he was actually shot in the head two months ago.
“Sorry you’re triggered. I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit,” she added.
Alexander and Eugene Vindman are Ukrainian twins who joined the U.S. military and made their way into the National Security Council staff in the White House, with Alexander joining in the Obama administration and remaining there under Trump as an ostensibly nonpolitical official. After Trump had a call with Ukraine’s president in which he encouraged him to look into Hunter Biden’s business dealings there, the twins sought to use the call to portray Trump himself as corrupt, leading to his impeachment.
The media portrayed Alexander Vindman as a nonpartisan, career military man who therefore should be taken seriously. In the years since, it has become clear that he was in fact a raging partisan, and that Democrats took the nearly unprecedented action of impeachment over a seemingly minor phone call incident because Hunter Biden was, in fact, criminally corrupt.
The man suspected of attempting to kill Trump on Sunday was a Democrat who adopted the party’s Ukraine obsession with such gusto that the New York Times wrote about his efforts to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war and bring other foreigners to do the same.
Eugene Vindman is now the Democrat nominee for Congress in Virginia’s seventh congressional district, a once Republican area that has recently leaned slightly blue. Eugene Vindman stands poised to be a U.S. congressman even though he is presumably a dual citizen of Ukraine and much of his family’s focus has remained on that foreign country.
The Republican running against him, Derrick Anderson, condemned Rachel Vindman’s remarks on X, writing that “This is now the second assassination attempt on former President Trump in a few weeks…. My opponent, @YVindman, has called for lowering the political temperature of this country — so will he denounce these terrible statements from his family member and supporter?”
Eugene Vindman posted a comment that refused to express sympathy to Trump by name, saying only “I am deeply disturbed by yet another attempt of political violence in our nation. I am grateful that no one is hurt.”
Alexander Vindman, for his part, unleashed numerous unhinged screeds blaming Trump for his own near-assassinations. When Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita wrote that Rachel Vindman’s comments should be condemned, he replied “I condemn you… Your candidate @realDonaldTrump has incited political violence for a decade.”
He pointed to a 2020 tweet by Trump defending himself against Alexander Vindman’s allegations, suggesting it constituted “harassment and incitement of violence.”
Trump “instigated attacks on legal immigrants resulting in bomb threats. His constant stoking of political violence doesn’t receive enough scrutiny. And the violence he inspires doesn’t receive enough condemnation,” he said. Saying nothing of the fact that Trump was literally almost murdered on Sunday, he instead blamed Trump’s “rhetoric” for supposedly instigating violence.
No one has ever tried to shoot Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, yet Trump has been the target of numerous murder plots.
When Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed calls for condemnation of Rachel Vindman’s rhetoric, Alexander Vindman responded by calling her a Russia propagandist.
The presence of such people in the National Security Council serves as vindication of Trump’s theory that a “deep state” was undermining him, and has tarnished the credibility of those who cast career government officials as “nonpartisan” and above reproach.
A large plank in Eugene Vindman’s campaign platform is claiming that it will hurt northern Virginia’s economy if Republicans win because Trump might enact “Schedule F” reform that would mean a president cannot be forced to keep people who openly subvert his agenda.
“The MAGA movement has made their intentions clear: if they take full control of the Federal Government they will fire thousands and install loyalists into our civil service. If their scheme for Schedule F is enacted, thousands of Virginians will lose their jobs,” his website says.
It is also aimed at advancing the cause of his homeland, underscoring his desire for “supporting Ukraine as they repel Putin’s invasion, strengthening NATO, and working with our European allies to make sure Russia’s aggression does not go unchecked.”
Virginia’s 7th district was for years the home of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. In 2014, he was defeated in the Republican primary by further-right Republican David Brat, who served two terms before being unseated by Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who won with 50.3% of the vote after positioning herself as more centrist.
Spanberger is now running for governor, but the Vindman family’s conduct positions them far outside the realm of centrism that history suggests the district prefers.
Aww, aren’t THEY a sweet couple? Just proves what we’ve always thought about Vindman.
How do you know?
comments on some of the news reports on YouTube are quite vile. “someone is finally going to get him given all the stupid things he says”, “they failed again”, and others claiming it was a staged attempt to help Trump because he lost the debate. Others claiming it is “Republican on Republican crime” - well after the shooter was known to be a Democrat and Biden/Harris supporter.
How did we then reach the point where increasingly now, our Congress, Judiciary, and Executive branches have become both home and safe haven for foreign actors to enter and pursue influence over the country's governance?
We now have foreign representatives who retain allegiance to foreign powers in all branches of our government, including even the military.
This is all wrong, and should not be allowed to continue.
The vindmans should have been arrested and executed.
Get out of my country.
Tell me you don’t understand civil war, without telling me you don’t understand civil war.
Because you just made the target list of many. Unforced error.
The Vindmans played a role in helping Biden get elected. Are they happy now that Biden’s policies have caused the destruction of Ukraine.
They could be twins, probably both clothed and unclothed!
I agree somewhere he’s had dealings with pro zeke alphabets and ngo types
No question of that
Rachel Vindmann will be starting in the next Matt Walsh flick “Am I a Sociopath?”
Special place in hell for the Vindman twins and this bi**h Vindman wife.
Same here!
If they love Ukraine more than the USA, they should get their asses out of this country. I wouldn’t be surprised if they know the assassin.
In my imaginary Perfect World, Deep State filth and Youcraynian scum like the Vindmans would be banished to a desert planet a billion light years away - without water or food. I loathe that paunchy scumbag Vindman and his sick, soul-less, Nuland-looking bitch. A pox on them. ‘Eff them, and ‘eff Youcrayne.
Whoaa! That’s real freaky! Good catch!
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE PURE EVIL, BUT THE VINDMAN”S ARE TOP OF THE LIST!!
