The Democratic National Committee dedicated Memorial Day, a day set aside to honor America’s fallen service men and women, by tweeting a photo of President Obama enjoying an ice cream cone.
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! pic.twitter.com/TMBSu187Pb

Ice cream? Really? Is that what he thinks Memorial Day is all about?
The Twitterverse exploded in disbelief — “are you kidding me?” was the tone — beginning with CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper, who tweeted:
Respectfully, @TheDemocrats, this is not what Memorial Day Weekend is about. https://t.co/331F9IX2Xz

But Tapper was kind when compared to some of the others. Here are some examples:
@TheDemocrats forgive me if I am wrong I thought Memorial Day was abt those who died 4 US not journos drooling over an Ass eating ice cream

.@TheDemocrats “Mmmm, I’m just enjoying some ice cream. Have a ‘happy’ time memorializing your dead veterans, ‘Murica!” #Obamacaptions

@TheDemocrats is King Barack thinking about the dead soldiers while slurping ice cream in front of adoring media servants? #MemorialDay

@TheDemocrats this is why the majority of veterans hate you.

@TheDemocrats Utterly clueless post.

@TheDemocrats the message: Bring an ice cream cone to a military cemetery, give it to a grieving family member and tell em Barack sent ya!

Some questioned the use of the term “happy Memorial Day.”
.@TheDemocrats Are you kidding me? Memorial Day is not happy, you morons, and it’s certainly not about narcissist-in-chief eating ice cream.

@TheDemocrats There is no HAPPY in Memorial Day!

When it comes to honoring our nation’s veterans, Democrats just haven’t been able to to get it right recently. Maybe that’s because the last two that voters sent to the White House never served a day in the military.
