<p>Rachel Vindman, whose husband Alexander Vindman was a key witness in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump, backpedaled on Monday after facing a virtual tidal wave of backlash for something she said about the second assassination attempt on Trump&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>In her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/vindmans-wife-mocks-trumps-near-killing-at-hands-of-fellow-ukraine-loyalist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initial post</a>, Vindman referenced the first assassination attempt — which took place on July 13th in Pennsylvania — where firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed, two others were seriously injured, and Trump was shot in the ear. Because the shooter on Sunday was apprehended without ever firing a shot at Trump, she said. &#8220;No ears were harmed. Carry one with your Sunday afternoon.&#8221;</p>
<p>She later doubled down, saying that she was not even a little bit sorry for &#8220;triggering&#8221; people with her comment. But by Monday, she had changed her tune.</p>

<p>&#8220;I have deleted my tweet. It was flippant &amp; political violence is a serious issue,&#8221; she said via X. &#8220;Whether it’s aimed at a former president, the media, immigrants, or political &#8216;enemies&#8217; &amp; every incident should be addressed appropriately if we want to change the tenor of our political discourse.&#8221;</p>

<p>Vindman continued her thoughts in a brief thread, pivoting immediately from her apology into a justification of her initial comments and the suggestion that she, in fact, was the real victim.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p>Critics were not sure she meant it, however, and responded accordingly.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m normally pretty forgiving about this stuff, but have a hard time believing this. The Vindmans have consistently been supremely narcissistic, they doubled down on her tweet for hours and this is happening only after it’s proven politically damaging,&#8221; Mark Hemingway posted.</p>

<p>&#8220;She went from &#8216;sorry you’re triggered. I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit&#8217; to &#8216;political violence is a serious issue,'&#8221; Greg Price added.</p>
