The official X account for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was widely ridiculed on Memorial Day after shamefully using fallen American heroes to attack President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

On Monday, @TheDemocrats on X posted an image of 13 fallen U.S. service members with the caption, “Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran.”<\/p>\n

The image itself also emphasized the president, reading, “Remembering the Americans who have died in Trump’s war with Iran.”<\/p>\n

The post was received poorly online, with commenters calling it distasteful and politically motivated. Hours after it was published, the post was deleted.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), an Iraq War veteran, commented, “It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day. I\u2019m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC.”<\/p>\n

Another person on X, Tali Goldsheft, said the post was “deeply unsettling,” regardless of one’s political views.<\/p>\n

“This isn\u2019t just an infuriatingly bad post. It\u2019s deeply unsettling,” Goldsheft wrote. “Republicans have a name for it: TDS.”<\/p>\n

“We can stand up against his problematic policies. And we should,” she added. “Using American soldiers\u2019 deaths to score points against Trump on Memorial Day, though? Who approved this?”<\/p>\n

The account currently has only one Memorial Day post, which reads: “This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms.”<\/p>\n
