Here’s What Democrats Chose to Do This Memorial Day Instead of Honoring Our Fallen Heroes

Memorial Day is a special time on the American calendar when we take a moment to think about and pay tribute to those who gave their lives for this wonderful country we call home.

It’s a wonderful and venerated tradition.

But the Left isn’t too interested in that. It has higher priorities.

Whatever it is you decided to do this Memorial Day, it was almost certainly time better spent than what the typical Democrat official was doing over the weekend.

If they just said, “Have a nice day, enjoy the weather,” as former Vice President Kamala Harris did in 2021, it would have been better than what a whole host of them decided to do this year.

This Memorial Day, they didn’t just ignore the occasion; many focused their energy on making cheap partisan talking points, joining mobs on behalf of illegal aliens, and showing how generally disconnected they are from the traditional values of this country.

The first and maybe the most egregious example of bad behavior this Memorial Day came from the Democratic National Committee.

“Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in [President Donald] Trump’s war with Iran,” the official Democrat X account said on Monday.

Using the deaths of these soldiers to take a shot at the president didn’t go over very well on social media. Some commentators called it “repulsive” and “appalling.”
