Hillary Clinton’s social media post commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day drew strong backlash from conservatives on Thursday.
“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 former secretary of state posted to her X account.
The D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, is one of the most famous moments in U.S. military history. It was a turning point in World War II and the beginning of American and Allied forces’ liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany’s control.
Conservatives criticized Clinton, a Democrat who ran against Trump for president in 2016, for a post they considered disrespectful to America’s heroes.
