(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Nearly a day into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with widespread bombardments echoing in Kyiv and disturbing reports of fighting near nuclear hot-zone Chernobyl, the Biden administration is laser focused on what really matters to its leftist supporters: criticizing former President Donald Trump and calling him nasty names.
Because that’s the type of response a leader of Biden’s caliber encourages from his minions when confronted with a crisis that is obviously beyond his abilities to handle.
White House second-string mouthpiece Andrew Bates didn’t disappoint, using his official government Twitter account to blast Trump for pointing out that Russian henchman Vladimir Putin has totally schooled Biden over Ukraine, reported the Daily Mail.
“Two nauseating, fearful pigs who hate what America stands for and whose every action is driven by their their own weakness and insecurity, rubbing their snouts together and celebrating as innocent people lose their lives,” Bates tweeted.

Bates’ unhinged smear apparently came in response to Trump earlier calling the Moscow mob boss “pretty smart,” which given how Putin has played Biden is more fact than opinion.
“He’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” Trump said.
During a Tuesday interview, Trump described watching the Ukrainian situation unfold.
“Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine – Putin declares it as independent,” Trump said. “And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper.
“That’s the strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right,” Trump said, mocking Putin’s gaslighting attempts.
“You gotta say that’s pretty savvy,” Trump said. “And you know what the response was from Biden?
“There was no response,” Trump said. “They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad.”
Biden’s blundering and blustering has been a disaster, with more than half of Americans disapproving of the way he has handled the Russia/Ukraine crisis.

All of which goes a long way in explaining why the White House is trying to distract attention from its glaring ineptitude, by resorting to petty insults in the place of meaningful action.
