While President Donald Trump and key members of his administration spent Memorial Day visiting Arlington National Cemetery to pay respects to America’s fallen heroes, Democrats instead used the national day of remembrance to bash Trump.

The official X account of the Democrat party published a graphic featuring the American service members who were killed in action during Operation Epic Fury earlier this year with the caption: "Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran."
The larger Democrat party weren’t the only leftists taking this opportunity to push their progressive politics. The radical Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey used his platform for a lengthy post to honor the saint of the Democrat party: George Floyd. Frey wouldn’t acknowledge that it was Memorial Day for three hours after his initial post by using a low-effort graphic after receiving significant backlash. Of course, they City of Minneapolis had to get in on the performative posting as well, and they have still yet to make any posting even acknowledging Memorial Day.
Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.

That moment changed our city forever.
Memorial Day is a time to remember the brave service members who gave their lives for our country and the freedoms we enjoy today.

As you would expect, patriots flooded social media to tear progressives apart for their disordered priorities.
Today, we honor all Americans who made that ultimate sacrifice not in service to a person or party — but to their nation.

Using these heroes’ deaths for politics on Memorial Day is truly disgusting. https://t.co/KkSFdJZJ60
This is sick. Politicizing these men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. And on Memorial Day!? https://t.co/emU8KVOing

Never forget that Jacob Frey showed up to cry over the casket of George Floyd, a violent career criminal who died of a drug overdose

His outrage is as fake as his tears. https://t.co/ihVrxKUjtK pic.twitter.com/SzxsZM4KKf
Patriotic Americans spend today remembering those heroes of our armed forces who gave their lives in service of this country, not praying at the altar of a felon druggy who died of a fentanyl overdose, you moronic sniveling coward https://t.co/e6hpD0YfRl

Democrats just cannot resist their temptation to attack Trump by even the slimiest of means.
