Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outraged X users Thursday in her attempt to commemorate D-Day‘s anniversary in a post.
“Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy,” Clinton wrote. “This November, all we have to do is vote.”
The comparison caused an uproar despite Clinton’s attempt to limit responses by banning replies to the post by anyone she does not follow. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) quoted the post to issue his response.
“These Dems couldn’t be more dramatic and deranged. They’re comparing storming the beaches of Normandy on #dday to voting against Trump,” Tuberville wrote.
“How disrespectful to our WWII heroes who faced unimaginable fear with immense courage 80 years ago today,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) wrote.
“Shameless and deranged,” Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) wrote.
“In 2016 you attempted to undo everything they fought for by partnering with Fusion GPS to launder discredited oppo[sition] in the press, and merchandise it into surveillance warrants on enemies through FISA,” conservative commentator Dana Loesch wrote. “Were my WWII vet grandparents alive today they’d slam this.”

“Can’t imagine why she’d turn the comments off on this disgusting piece of drivel,” communications director for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Bryan Griffin wrote.
Clinton lost her 2016 presidential bid to Donald Trump, who is campaigning against incumbent President Joe Biden. Trump is the presumptive Republican candidate for president ahead of the party’s national convention on July 15. Election Day is Nov. 5.
