Alexander&#8217;s twin brother, Eugene Vindman, is a Virginia Democrat running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The situation appears even more troubling now that it has come to light that the would-be assassin had an obsession with Ukraine. Critics argue that during Trump&#8217;s presidency, the media portrayed the Vindmans as impartial when they are actually staunch opponents of Trump. Robby Starbuck commented on this perception via Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Vindman&#8217;s mocking tweet about the assassination attempt drew thousands of angry replies.
