Rachel Vindman, wife of retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who played a key role in the Ukraine impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, is facing backlash after mocking the former president following a second assassination attempt on Sunday. Vindman posted a controversial tweet not long after the incident, downplaying the severity of the attack.

“No ears were harmed,” Rachel Vindman tweeted on X (formerly Twitter), followed by, “Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.” The tweet was a direct reference to the ear injury Trump sustained during a previous assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. During that incident, Trump narrowly avoided a fatal shot by turning his head at the moment the gunman fired, with speculation that shrapnel, rather than a bullet, caused the injury.

The nature of Trump’s injuries from the Pennsylvania attack has been the subject of widespread speculation, with theories ranging from FBI Director Christopher Wray’s assertion that Trump was hit by shrapnel to more bizarre claims suggesting that Trump faked the injury using a blood capsule. The tweet’s flippant tone quickly sparked outrage online, as critics of Vindman’s comments responded angrily.

One user responded, “Donald Trump’s ear has healed, but you will always be ugly and retarded,” while another wrote, “When Trump gets elected as President of the United States again, we’re going to have to have a serious discussion about mass deportations and including some Americans in it as well.”

Rather than backtrack, Vindman doubled down in response to the backlash. “Sorry you’re triggered. I mean no, I’m not. I don’t care a little bit,” she tweeted. Vindman went on to criticize Trump, accusing him of inciting violence throughout his political career. “Trump has been inciting violence against his enemies for years. He douses a situation in gasoline, lights a match, and 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,” she added.

Rachel Vindman’s husband, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, was a key figure in Trump’s first impeachment trial, which focused on allegations that Trump had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call to investigate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden. Alexander Vindman’s testimony during the impeachment proceedings made him a central figure in the case, which ultimately led to Trump’s impeachment in the House of Representatives, although he was acquitted in the Senate.

The assassination attempt on Trump, which occurred just months after the Pennsylvania incident, has reignited debates over political violence in the U.S., with reactions to Vindman’s comments highlighting the polarized nature of discourse surrounding the former president.
