Vindman’s Wife Mocks Trump’s Near-Killing At Hands of Fellow Ukraine Loyalist

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.

Violence against any elected official should never be celebrated or dismissed. This is now the second assassination attempt on former President Trump in a few weeks.

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.

‘Meow’: ‘Murphy Brown’ Actress Takes Swipe At JD Vance At Primetime Emmys

Hollywood star Candice Bergen got political at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards when she took a swipe at Republican Vice President candidate J.D. Vance.

On Sunday during the ABC broadcast at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the 78-year-old actress recalled playing news anchor “Murphy Brown” on the popular show and a moment during her career when her character became pregnant but was unmarried.

“In one classic moment, my character was attacked by [Republican] Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother,” Bergen told the room of stars. “Oh how far we’ve come.”

“Today a Republican candidate for Vice President would never attack a woman for having kids,” she added sarcastically. “So as they say, my work here is done. Meow”

The comment was part of an ongoing attack by the left against former President Donald Trump’s running mate — over something Vance said during an interview in 2021 that has been completely taken out of context.

We are effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,” Vance said. “That is a basic fact. Look at Kamala Harris, AOC, and the like; the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t have a direct stake in it?”

Bergen’s comment wasn’t the only one of the night that mentioned the upcoming election. Actress Liza Colon-Zayas for “The Bear” was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. During her acceptance speech she thanked supporters and then just said “Vote.”

“All the Latinas who are looking at me, keep believing and VOTE,” Colon-Zayas said. “Vote for your rights,” without explaining further what she meant by that last comment. 

“Only In The Murders Building” stars opened the evening’s show with actress Selena Gomez attempting to take a swipe at Vance when she labeled her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short “childless cat ladies.”

She didn’t get the bit right and said that Martin and Short were “this far away from being childless cat ladies” instead of “this close…” as Page Six noted.
