A former congressman\u2019s TDS intersected with his fanboying for Ukraine\u2019s president with a post-assassination attempt dig that landed more like a \u201cpretty disturbing\u201d downplay of threats.<\/p>\n

Instead of finally taking ownership of the impact their hyperbolic, violent rhetoric has had on their base, Democrats have responded to the latest attempt on the life of President Donald Trump by trying to spin a narrative. While suggestions of insufficient security further justified the chief executive\u2019s construction of a White House ballroom, congressman turned talking head Adam Kinzinger propagandized for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n

Sharing an image of the Eastern European leader among members of the military from his X account that still reads \u201cSlava Ukraini\u201d with the nation\u2019s flag beside Old Glory, the former Illinois congressman included the caption, \u201cHasn\u2019t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

This, of course, earned a considerable reality check for the RINO about the whining that Zelenskyy has done and how much it could buy him at the expense of taxpayers \u2014 unlike the funded White House ballroom. As California Post opinion editor Joel Pollak put it, \u201cWe\u2019ve bought him the equivalent of 9,771 ballrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well grifting off hundreds of billions of American tax dollars will do that to a man. And on behalf of the American taxpayers, thank you Mr. Slava Ukraine for supporting that initiative. Did you skim a little off the top for yourself?<\/p>\n

The backlash didn\u2019t deter Kinzinger, who resorted to absurdity when he posted the next day, \u201cWonder why we don\u2019t just build a big ballroom around Ukraine and protect them all? Or do that for the Middle East?\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the former lawmaker, who infamously sobbed during a hearing about the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol and then played the victim over the \u201ccold-hearted<\/a>\u201d mockery he incurred, saw fit to present the responses of other presidents to attacks in a manner that suggested heightening security was not only unwarranted, but possibly cowardly as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, \u2018Honey, I forgot to duck.\u2019 Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom,\u201d wrote Kinzinger, who conveniently left out Trump\u2019s \u201cFight! Fight! Fight!\u201d response to the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt and his reported desire to continue the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner after Saturday\u2019s threat.<\/p>\n

Kinzinger was also called out for describing a drunk man crash landing a stolen plane on the White House lawn during the Clinton administration \u2014 when the president wasn\u2019t even there \u2014 as \u201ca man crashed his plane into the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It wasn\u2019t an attempted assassination. It was a drunk man who, according to friends, had no ill will toward Clinton. Pretending otherwise is a disingenuous way to downplay the political violence plaguing this country and only further prolongs any real solution. https:\/\/t.co\/t5RGKUIhi4<\/a><\/p>\n

All told, the impression left on social media was such that users began to think leftists were trying to normalize political violence rather than turn down the temperature. As one account put it in response to the RINO\u2019s reference to the plane crash, \u201cDemocrats wanting assassination attempts to seem like no big deal is pretty disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n
