Even The Dictionary Is Puzzled By GOP Rep.’s Word Salad About Ukraine

Clay Higgins' tweet about "millennial leftists" sowed confusion on Twitter.

Reporter, HuffPost

Dictionary.com spelled out exactly what was wrong with Rep. Clay Higgins’ (R-La.) tweet about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Namely, it made little sense.

“You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky,” Higgins wrote on Sunday, adding: “You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets.”

You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets.

Higgins’ comments sowed confusion on Twitter, none more so than with the online resource. “We’re not entirely sure what this tweet is supposed to mean, and we’re literally the dictionary,” Dictionary.com fired back.

This is a very confusing tweet. I’m familiar with the sky Lucy lives in with diamonds, the one Luke walks on, and the country that has a big one. But I’m not familiar with the woke sky. I also didn’t know Twitter was giving some users ballistic tweets, and I feel left out. https://t.co/DPZLTbKDfp
