Hillary Clinton faced intense criticism from conservatives for a recent social media post commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. In the post on her X account, she wrote:
“Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy. This November, all we have to do is vote.”
The D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, in 1944 is a pivotal moment in U.S. military history, marking the beginning of the liberation of Europe from Nazi control.
However, conservatives viewed Clinton’s post as disrespectful to the sacrifices made by America’s heroes.
RedState writer Bonchie described Clinton’s post as “just pure evil,” emphasizing the stark contrast between the sacrifices of soldiers in WWII and the act of voting.
Radio host Dana Loesch criticized Clinton’s previous actions in 2016, accusing her of attempting to undo the efforts of WWII veterans by involving Fusion GPS in discrediting political opposition.
Similarly, “Ruthless” podcast host “Comfortably Smug” expressed disdain, questioning the morality of comparing political actions to the courage of soldiers on Omaha Beach.
Another conservative account highlighted the discrepancy between the bravery of soldiers and Clinton’s attempt to diminish it with political rhetoric.
Combat veteran and author Sean Parnell echoed the sentiment, condemning Clinton’s comment as loathsome and emphasizing the profound disrespect it shows towards WWII veterans.
Despite attempts to reach out to Clinton for comment, she has not responded to the backlash.
This is not the first time Clinton has faced criticism for her remarks. In a previous social media post, she likened former President Trump to Hitler, further fueling tensions between her and conservative commentators.
