Virginia Democrat Congressional Candidate Eugene Vindman’s sister-in-law - the wife of a Trump impeachment witness - repeatedly mocked those upset by Sunday’s failed assassination attempt on Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump, the second attempt in the last two months.
“No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon,” Rachel Vindman, co-host of The Suburban Women Problem podcast, posted on X.com (formerly, Twitter), referring to the bullet that struck Trump’s ear, nearly missing his head and killing him, during the last assassination attempt.
Unrepentant, Vindman – whose husband, Ret. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, testified in Trump’s first impeachment – then posted a fake apology to insult those disgusted by her callousness toward an attempted murder:
“Sorry you’re triggered. I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit.”
Vindman then suggested Trump had it coming – and that he is responsible for the assassination attempt on himself:
“Trump has been inciting violence against his enemies for years. He douses a situation in gasoline, lights a match, & walks away claiming no responsibility.
“Look at what is happening in Springfield, OH right now but he wants to claim he's a victim. You cannot have it both ways.”
For his part, Candidate Vindman posted a much different sentiment, reacting to the foiled attempt to assassinate Trump:
“I am deeply disturbed by yet another attempt of political violence in our nation.
“I am grateful that no one is hurt, and thankful for the law enforcement agents who acted bravely and swiftly in the line of duty.”
