Even Dictionary.com can't decipher this US Republican's tweet on Russia

Meanwhile, in an attempt to really interpret the tweet, CNN's Chris Cillizza stated, "Clay Higgins is clearly mad at millennials -- those who were born between 1981 and 1996 -- for having "never lived one day under nuclear threat."

With the Russia-Ukraine conflict resting heavy on US's shoulders, one Republican House representative recently decided he's had enough. It was time to drop a metaphorical bomb. And he did. On Twitter.

If you did not understand exactly what Clay Higgins wanted to say, you are not alone. Because along with thousands of Twitter users, even Dictionary.com could not decipher it. 

In response to the politician's post,  Dictionary.com tweeted, "We’re not entirely sure what this tweet is supposed to mean, and we’re literally the dictionary."

That, however, did not stop some from using Higgins's tweet to lighten the air. Political blogger and designer Jeff Tiedrich used a line from William Shakespeare's Macbeth to share his predicament. "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing — William Shakespeare, predicting Rep. Clay Higgins (R-rodeo clown)," he tweeted.

Musician Jonathan Mann, on the other hand, turned Higgins's tweet into a song.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to really interpret the tweet, CNN's Chris Cillizza stated, "Higgins is clearly mad at millennials -- those who were born between 1981 and 1996 -- for having 'never lived one day under nuclear threat'."
