Hillary Clinton Causes Controversy on Social Media with D-Day Post

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton caused controversy on social media when she compared the D-Day anniversary to the upcoming 2024 election.

Clinton’s post on X on Thursday morning stated, “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.”

World leaders and surviving veterans gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944, marking the start of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany.

The post received 2.8 million views, 19,000 likes, and 6,400 reposts.

The comparison drew criticism from conservatives, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., responding, “These Dems couldn’t be more dramatic and deranged. They’re comparing storming the beaches of Normandy on D-Day to voting against Trump.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called the comparison “disrespectful” to WWII heroes, while Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, labeled it “shameless and deranged.”

Conservative commentator Dana Loesch criticized Clinton for actions in 2016, and Bryan Griffin, communications director for Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, questioned why comments were turned off on the post.

Clinton lost the 2016 election to Trump, who is expected to be declared the GOP nominee on July 15. Election Day is on Nov. 5.
