Ukraine’s American Trans Spox Picks A Fight With US Senator J.D. Vance | ZeroHedge

The American man masquerading as a "female" spokesperson for the Ukrainian military has decided to pick a fight with a sitting American senator. 

Senator JD Vance of Ohio has made formal inquiry as to whether Sarah Ashton-Cirillo (born Michael John Cirillo) is being funded by the US government or has ties to the US intelligence community. 

Sen. Vance has sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, toward that end of seeking information. 

Last week a viral video by Ashton-Cirillo saw him declare on behalf of the Territorial Defense Forces of Ukraine that Russia's "propagandists" will be "hunted down" around the world.

Revealingly, this was said just as an American journalist, Gonzalo Lira, was due in Ukrainian court on vague charges of "justifying Russia's aggression." That video sparked frenzy and anger online, given it seemed an open threat to journalists or anyone that doesn't toe a pro-Ukrainian line on any given issue related to the war.

Fireworks ensued as Sen. Vance and Ashton-Cirillo went back and forth…

Vance's letter to top US defense and intelligence officials stated in part:

And more from the letter:

These are the questions posed by the Ohio freshman Senator in the letter:

  • Is this individual employed by the Ukrainian military, and do we have reason to believe the are compensated using American resources?
  • Is this individual an American citizen? Did they ever serve, in any capacity, American intelligence services?
  • Do we have reason to believe Ukrainian forces or intelligence services are planning to commit acts of violence against those who engage in ‘Russian propaganda’?

    • According to the independent news source, The Dossier, Ashton-Cirillo issued some incriminating fresh statements on Monday, and then quickly backtracked, perhaps sensing he could be in hot water or that the whole episode might embarrass Kiev:

    This is the bizarre response to Vance's inquiries from the transgender YouTube spokesperson…

    Vance later gave some apt and appropriate comments to Breitbart News, saying: "If the Ukrainians want to hire weirdos to threaten Americans and others for speaking their mind, I guess that’s their right. They shouldn’t use our tax dollars to do it."

    He continued: "And we shouldn’t pretend this is a war for freedom when our supposed ally is threatening violence to anyone who opposes the war."

    Meanwhile, here's how we know that the Ukrainian government will continue down this weird trajectory of giving platforms to transgender journalists in an effort to virtue-signal to Western-Left progressives…
