This week, we marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the decisive battle that turned the tide of WWII. Thousands of American and Allied troops fearlessly stormed the beaches at Normandy, liberating Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany.
Millions of Americans remember this day, particularly those who lost family members on that fateful day.
Using her protected X account, Hillary Clinton also chose to comment on the 80th anniversary. Instead of simply honoring American veterans, she decided to take a political stance, appearing to compare Donald Trump to a vile enemy.
From The Washington Examiner:
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.”
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.

Clinton claimed the men who fought on D-Day were doing it to “protect democracy.” They were doing much more than that, Hill. She then claimed that we will be “protecting democracy” when we vote in November. It seems Hillary Clinton is pushing the tired claim that Donald Trump is a “threat” to democracy even though it is her party that is abusing the legal system to prevent Americans from voting for him.
Users did not take kindly to Clinton—who undermined democracy during the Democratic primaries in 2016—for using D-Day to push politics. And they quickly took to social media to set the record straight.
From Daily Wire:
“It’s impossible to capture just how loathsome a comment this is…”“What kind of shameless, broken, lizard person do you have to be to tweet out some nonsense like this?”…
“In 2016 you attempted to undo everything they fought for by partnering with Fusion GPS to launder discredited oppo in the press, and merchandise it into surveillance warrants on enemies through FISA. Were my WWII vet grandparents alive today, they’d slam this,” radio host Dana Loesch added.
Users were quick to call out Clinton’s actions that undermined democracy. They ridiculed her for comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler. Others slammed her for suggesting voting in an election is the same as brave soldiers ducking machine gun fire to liberate Europe.
Clinton apparently feared backlash from her post. Currently, nobody can comment on her X posts unless she follows them or quotes them. Clinton loves to spread her unpopular views but refuses to acknowledge anyone else’s. That doesn’t sound very democratic, does it?
Key Takeaways:
- Hillary Clinton used D-Day’s 80th anniversary to push politics.
- She suggested that voting for Biden was “protecting democracy.”
- Users online blasted her callous and ugly comparison of Trump to Hitler.
