Outgoing “Pelosi Republican” Adam Kinzinger had a public meltdown on social media over a meme regarding the war in Ukraine and as a result, threatened popular Twitter account Catturd. Conservatives had a field day mocking the Never Trump Republican infamous for crying during a January 6 Committee hearing.
“It’s dumb that I’m laughing way too hard at this,” author and Conservative wit Catturd wrote on Twitter, sharing a meme depicting a cartoon character simultaneously crying blue and urinating yellow, which formed the colors of the Ukrainian flag underneath him.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) reacted to Catturd’s tweet, writing, “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.”

“Sitting congressman threatens violence against a U.S. citizen over laughing at a meme they found funny,” Catturd said of Kinzinger’s reaction. “I can’t stop laughing at this infant.”

Catturd was not the only social media conservative laughing at the outgoing congressman clutching his pearls over a meme.

Kinzinger was swiftly mocked by Twitter users, one of whom modified the original meme to make it so that it was Kinzinger crying and urinating, rather than the cartoon character.
Greatest Meme of all time! 💯🎯 pic.twitter.com/T4YNRqqSl3

“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 nationally syndicated Jesse Kelly Show, wrote.

A slew of others also dunked on the congressman.
Did Adam Kinzinger – a sitting member of the US House of Representatives – really threaten @catturd2 with physical violence over a Ukraine meme?

You're publicly threatening an account called "cat turd" for thinking that a meme is funny
Reevaluate your life choices

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

Daughter: "Daddy why did you beat that man up?"
Adam: "He posted a meme on Twitter that hurt my feelings."

Adam, chill. You’ve been reading your own bio far too often. You’re not a “real warrior” and you’re talking to a dude who goes by @catturd2. You’re going back to your job as a tanker pilot. You’re not dropping bombs over Tokyo. Adios.

Bahahahahahaha. Keep sending billions to Ukraine while our own people live in the streets and there’s nothing for them. You are such a fucking hack
