Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman Hits Back at Newsmax Host Greg Kelly's 'Pathetic' Diss

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was quick to fire back at Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly’s diss of him this week, saying in a colorful tweet that he won’t stand for Kelly’s insulting him and his family.

“I’m not @SenTedCruz. I will not allow attacks on my wife and family go unanswered. Your attacks are even more pathetic than your pitiful attempts at notoriety @gregkellyusa,” Vindman tweeted Monday.




Vindman’s Monday remarks were in response to Kelly’s comments on Twitter a day earlier. Kelly posted a picture of Vindman, his twin brother Eugene and father Semyon, and said, “what a bunch of Schlubs. IS this the waiting room at Jiffy Lube? No, it’s the Vindman family — you know, that drama Queen who colluded with the Deep State to get TRUMP. He’s now running around trying to remind everyone who he is. Today Fake News @CBSNews hype his ‘book.'”

Vindman managed to include a dig at Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in his reply. He alluded to Cruz’s track record of failing to defend himself and his family against personal attacks even from within his own party — Cruz famously refused to retort after former president Donald Trump insinuated his wife Heidi was unattractive and threatened to “spill the beans” on her. Cruz also did nothing after Trump suggested Cruz’s father Rafael Cruz was involved in the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy.

His main claim to "fame" is losing his shit at the staff of a Mickey D's because they (checks notes) didn't have the McFishwich (or whatever the hell it's called) on the menu? ...Wait, what? Seriously??
