If you thought the Vindman family would fade into obscurity, you thought wrong. Eugene Vindman, the brother of infamous Trump impeachment "witness" Alexander Vindman, is running for Congress. Why? I have no idea, but I'd assume it has something to do with an unhealthy thirst for political notoriety.
Of course, if you want to win in politics, showing that your entire family is full of deranged lunatics probably isn't the best strategy. Unfortunately for Eugene, his sister-in-law decided to "fight" for him. It went so badly that she deleted her posts.
Things started with some light criticism from a social media account with less than 10,000 followers.
Rachel Vindman then lost her every-loving mind.
"Don't you dare" Rachel Vindman screams at some local political figure on the internet giving a rather tame opinion. By the second post, she was letting the expletives fly along with some not-so-veiled threats. How is she going to make this guy "sorry?" Why does anyone care whether she has "entered the fight?"
I could try to analyze it further, but Occam's razor strikes again: The Vindmans are insane people.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the most fame-seeking members of the Vindman family are mentally unstable. The warning signs were all there back when Alexander Vindman was allegedly leaking classified information in order to prance around in his military uniform and pretend to be the savior of the republic.
His wife has long been just as crazy as well. Recall that she once sent the following message to Rep. Elise Stefanik.
@RepStefanik You have the blood of Ukrainians on your hands. When you hold your new baby I want you to think of the mothers of @Ukraine who will never see their children again because you abdicated your responsibility to hold Trump accountable for his extortion.
Even at the time, her post was psychotic given Trump gave weapons to Ukraine and Putin didn't invade the Eastern European nation until Joe Biden was president. But again, logic doesn't play into any of this. These people are just insane partisans who will morph any world event to fit their priorities.
There's also the unmistakable air of entitlement around Rachel Vindman's public comments, which makes these inter-party fights so hilarious. Joshua Cole is a Democrat and apparently sees himself as some sort of gatekeeper. Eugene Vindman didn't kiss the ring before announcing and was immediately attacked. The speed with which the far-left is eating its own these days is rather enjoyable.
