Rep. Adam Kinzinger on late Monday night posted a confusing tweet appearing to threaten an anonymous Twitter user by the name of “Catturd” after the account retweeted a meme.
The meme which triggered the bizarre and hate-fueled wrath of Rep. Kinzinger featured a cartoon drawing of a person lying down in his own urine and tears, creating a split puddle of blue and yellow that resembles the Ukrainian flag.
“It’s dumb that I’m laughing way too hard at this,” Catturd said of the meme.
😂😂😂- It's dumb that I'm laughing way too hard at this. https://t.co/slMJ1WB4Dw

Rep. Kinzinger, an outspoken admirer of Ukrainian President Volodmir Zelensky and a staunch supporter of escalating NATO conflict with nuclear Russia, randomly screenshotted the “Catturd” repost and appeared to threaten the user behind the account with violence.
“Literal evil,” Rep. Kinzinger exclaimed. “If I met you in person it would not end well… for you. Sicko.”
Literal evil. If I met you in person it would not end well… for you. Sicko

Rep. Kinzinger added, “Trolls who have never done a real thing in their life pretend to be patriots and laugh at real warriors.”
“Sitting congressman threatens violence against a U.S. citizen over laughing at a meme they found funny,” Catturd tweeted in response to Kinzinger’s reaction. “I can’t stop laughing at this infant.”

The Illinois congressman was widely mocked and met with criticism by conservatives online, who pointed out how strange it was that Rep. Kinzinger would chose to pick a fight with an anonymous Twitter user named after feline feces.

One Twitter user edited the meme to include Rep. Kinzinger’s likeness lying in the puddle of urine and tears.

“Kinzinger is such a grease fire that he’s not even gonna be able to capitalize on his Anti-Trumpism and turn it into post-Congress dollars. Dude is just a walking disaster waiting to happen,” Jesse Kelly, host of the Jesse Kelly Show, said of the situation.

Others have speculated that Rep. Kinzinger may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of his tweet.
Hey @AdamKinzinger, now that it’s the morning, I wanted to ask you if you were drunk or high when you sent this tweet threatening to physically attack @catturd2? https://t.co/MF8afFKCff

Asshole kuntstinker is a waste of human life. And what part of the refueling crew was he? He sounds like he was a hose holder. His new job will probably be in the same field. In a local mens toilet.

LOL this POS seems to have a lot in common with joebamma sudden outbursts of temper, lack of mental and emotional control, and blabbering on and on without saying anything worth listening to.

Adam CRYzinger wouldn’t have a problem if he wasn’t lying in a puddle of his urine and tears. He would run away and not fight – GUARANTEED.
BUT NOT BEFORE BURSTING INTO TEARS.

CRYzinger is as tough as Joe Biden.
Just ask President Xi how tough Joe Biden is.
Don’t know if President Xi is able to talk with Joe Biden’s head shoved up his ass.

Kryin’ Kinzinger was supposed to be representing Americans, NOT Ukrainians! Sending billions of dollars to them, not knowing where they actually end up, isn’t very smart!

“Rep. Kinzinger, an outspoken admirer of Ukrainian President Volodmir Zelensky and a staunch supporter of escalating NATO conflict with nuclear Russia, randomly screenshotted the “Catturd” repost and appeared to threaten the user behind the account with violence.”
Kinzinger is an idiot and he’s supporting the wrong side.
Ukraine is dirty. They have over 7 bio-weapons labs (funded by U.S. Leftist, DemoRat scum like him) which were producing the Covid virus and now are producing Anthrax. Zelensky is a lying, deceiving, parasitic piece of shit- milking money from the U.S. to support his “war”.
corruption as usual

Kinzinger is a PUSSY, like all DemonRAT Communists are! I wish he would just get over himself & have a sex change. Maybe that is why he is so confused, weak & frustrated with himself!

Let’s be fair to Kinzinger.
I think ANY meme of ANY incontinent snowflake crying would have triggered him.
