Never Trump Republican congressman threatens cartoon cat on Twitter
Never Trump Republican and outgoing congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) threatened violence against a popular cartoon cat Twitter account named @catturd2 (or commonly known as Catturd) over a Ukraine meme.
Catturd is an anonymous right-leaning satirical social media account and has slightly over 1 million followers. The account was frequently retweeted by the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Catturd is also known for leading a #CatturdForTwitterCEO campaign on Twitter.
Kinzinger was one of ten Republicans led by Rep. Liz Cheney who voted in favor to impeach President Donald J Trump, charging him with “incitement of insurrection” for his alleged role in the Capitol Building protest.
Rep. Kinzinger responded to the Cat's tweet with the following reply, “Literal evil. If I met you in person it would not end well… for you. Sicko. Trolls who have never done a thing in their life pretend to be patriots and laugh at real warriors.”
In typical Catturd fashion, the response to Kinzinger was degradingly comical. “Sitting congressman threatens violence against a U.S. citizen over laughing at a meme they found funny. 😂 I can’t stop laughing at this infant.”
Catturd then insinuated that Congressman Kinzinger was “drunk tweeting.”
Unhinged Left-Wing Republican Adam Kinzinger Threatens Violence Against Social Media User
The Twitter user known as Catturd recently made news for battling against Florida’s Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried.
Now, Catturd is taking on another Trump hater: U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
Kinzinger, a left-leaning Republican from Illinois, threatened Catturd with a beatdown after a social media post mocking the war in Ukraine.
Catturd posted in response, “It’s dumb that I’m laughing way too hard at this.”
Yet Kinzinger was not laughing.The triggered liberal GOP congressman, who opted for resignation over trying to defend his seat after the Democrat-led Illinois Legislature redrew the boundaries of his district, pledged violence, as those on his side often do.
“Literal evil. If I met you in person it would not end well… for you. Sicko,” Kinzinger tweeted in reply. “Trolls who have never done a thing in their life pretend to be patriots and laugh at real warriors.”
Others on the right also took the opportunity to shame the Illinois congressman.
Conservative author and analyst Kurt Schlichter tweeted, “My favorite part of this is this soon-to-be unemployed nobody with boundless self-regard is in a fight with a guy who calls himself feline poo. And is losing.”
Country music singer John Rich added, “Ya know you’ve hit rock bottom when you start threatening a cat.”
GOp Rep. Lauren Boebert observed, “@AdamKinzinger taking time out of his day to threaten to beat up @Catturd2 over a Twitter meme really underscores why he retired in shame.”
Alex Bruesewitz, a political consultant with a firm called X Strategies LLC, tweeted, “Yesterday, 11/21/22, will go down as one of the darkest days in the history of democracy. A United States Congressman named @AdamKinzinger, some know him as “booster seat Kinzinger,” threatened to physically assault a cartoon cat named @catturd2. I’m shaking.”
