Wife of a former White House staffer, podcast host Rachel Vindman faced flak for her disgusting comment on X after Donald Trump escaped unhurt from the second attempt on his life in Florida on Sunday. “No ears were harmed. Carry one with your Sunday afternoon,” Vindman posted referring to the ear injury that Trump sustained when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at him at a Pennsylvania rally in July.Vindman is the wife of Alexander Vindman, a former army colonel and whistleblower who testified against Trump in 2019 resulting in Trump’s first impeachment.
Donald Trump Jr called her ‘f**king demented’ for the statement. “Today she celebrated the assassination attempt of president Trump by a pro Ukraine mercenary,” Donald Trump’s aide Laura Loomer wrote on X.

“Harris and Walz should be asked if they agree with Rachel Vindman’s comments. Liz Cheney should also be asked — and urged to make a public statement on TV – that doing ‘whatever it takes’ does not include trying to shoot President Trump,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham wrote.
Rachel finally deleted her tweet and said it was flippant. “I have deleted my tweet. It was flippant & political violence is a serious issue. Whether it’s aimed at a former president, the media, immigrants, or political “enemies” & every incident should be addressed appropriately if we want to change the tenor of our political discourse,” she wrote.

“I have sat awake many nights wondering who might be outside. I have known the instant fear of receiving an unknown package or letter. I have had my child ask me if we were safe and if someone was going to hurt our family. With social media it’s easy to say the wrong thing and then walk away, but if words matter for some they should matter for all. I don’t always get it right the first time. I’m grateful to all who have supported us throughout the past five years,” Vindman added.
