A House Republican published a confounding Tweet Sunday, which left many observers scratching their heads, trying to decipher its meaning.

In a Sunday afternoon dispatch, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) railed against “millennial leftists” in confusing fashion.

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