'Couldn't Be More Dramatic And Deranged': Hillary Clinton Faces Backlash Following D-Day Post Comparing Trump To Hitler

On Thursday, former Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ignited social media in outrage after her D-Day anniversary post compared the World War II service members' sacrifice to defend democracy as comparable to defeating Donald Trump at the ballot box in November.

"Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy," Clinton wrote on X. "This November, all we have to do is vote." The post has been viewed over 4.4 million times and has 28,000 likes and over 9,000 reposts.

In response to the outrageous post, Republicans slammed Clinton with Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), writing, "These Dems couldn't be more dramatic and deranged. They're comparing storming the beaches of Normandy on #dday to voting against [former President Donald] Trump."

"How disrespectful to our WWII heroes who faced unimaginable fear with immense courage 80 years ago today," wrote Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), as reported by Newsmax. "What an enormously stupid and vile comment," conservative commentator Ben Shapiro wrote. "Trump is not Hitler. And voting is not storming a beach under a hail of machine-gun fire to free millions from the tyranny of the Nazis."

While Clinton was busy comparing the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Americans to Democrats going to the ballot box, her former opponent, Donald Trump, took time on the 80th anniversary of D-Day to honor the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. While on his personal plane, Trump spoke with multiple D-Day veterans and thanked them for their service. He also took to Truth Social to honor the "immortal heroes."

"Today, we honor the immortal heroes who landed at Normandy 80 years ago," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The men of D-Day will live forever in history as among the bravest, noblest, and greatest Americans ever to walk the earth. They shed their blood, and thousands gave their lives in defense of American Freedom. They are in our hearts today and for all time."

The Trump campaign also posted a video of the 45th president's remarks on the 75th anniversary of D-Day in 2019. "More powerful than the strength of American arms was the strength of American hearts. These men ran through the fires of hell moved by a force no weapon could destroy: the fierce patriotism of a free, proud, and sovereign people," Trump said at the time. "They battled not for control and domination, but for liberty, democracy, and self-rule."
