Neither President Joe Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris appear to, at first glance, understand the true meaning of Memorial Day.
Both drew negative attention Saturday for posting tweets encouraging Americans to enjoy their weekend. Because of the timing, the presumption has been that they were specifically talking about the Memorial Day weekend.
Look at their tweets below:
Stay cool this weekend, folks. pic.twitter.com/Z2xOTekvUZ
— President Biden (@POTUS) May 29, 2021
Enjoy the long weekend. pic.twitter.com/ilGOrod4AW
— Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) May 29, 2021
These tweets contrast with what then-President Donald Trump tweeted during Memorial Day weekend 2020.
Records maintained by the Trump Twitter Archive show that he’d retweeted the following from Vince McMahon:
The true meaning of Memorial Day is often forgotten. Remember all of those that made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can be free. #MemorialDay
— Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) May 25, 2020
However, the retweet was posted on Memorial Day itself, whereas Biden and Harris’s tweets were posted at the start of Memorial Day weekend.
This has some concerned that their tweets are a “trap” designed to lure conservatives into making an issue out of them not honoring America’s fallen soldiers.
The theory is that the two will eventually tweet about America’s fallen soldiers on Memorial Day itself, thus providing so-called “fact-checkers” with the impetus to pounce on any conservative who’d made an issue out of their original tweets.
The “fact-checkers” will basically just claim that the two had simply been talking about the weekend, as if it’s a habit of theirs to tell people to enjoy their weekends.
Harris and Biden make references to this “weekend” and do not mention America’s fallen heroes … it’s a trap

They’ll tweet about it *on Monday* & fact-checkers will issue “fact-checks” saying that Biden / Harris did remember America’s fallen soldiers on Memorial Day
Google will rank those fact checks high in their search algorithm (as they always do) to delegitimize conservative media

Here’s how it will play out:
Harris on Saturday: “Enjoy the long weekend”
Media: She didn’t remember America’s fallen troops
Harris anytime between now and midnight on Monday: “We remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for America’s freedom”
Fact checkers: The media lied— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) May 30, 2021
The theory may very well turn out to be right. That being said, patriots are still outraged, and they’ve had no second thoughts about letting the two know.

Normal Presidents on Memorial Day: This weekend we honor our fallen warriors who fought to preserve the future of our great nation. God bless our troops! Enjoy your weekend!

On Memorial Day, we reflect on and honor the service and sacrifice of the American heroes who have given their lives to defend our freedoms. @VP’s failure to recognize our fallen soldiers and Gold Star families is insulting. https://t.co/YJBONU0Glk

Even my 7 year old son understands what this weekend is about. @VP Harris, show some respect for the heroes who paid the ultimate price for our freedom https://t.co/EG5vnJJjB7 pic.twitter.com/Mqe3IA8KME

Real misfire here. It is a long weekend. It’s also Memorial Day weekend, which means far more that our government officials should acknowledge: a time to remember and honor the millions of Americans who lost their lives in our nation’s defense https://t.co/RCPwPf4TdL https://t.co/xKyyaOkkQA

I have people replying that I’m “nitpicking.” Nope. Just pointing out the meaning of this holiday that is missed in this tweet by @VP.

Shouldn’t you make some mention of Memorial Day? It’s not just a long weekend….

Regarding Harris, this perceived faux pas came two days after she announced that she’d convinced several major American corporations to invest money in Central American countries and urged other businesses to follow suit.
She believes this funneling of money and resources from the United States to Central America will somehow stop the ongoing crisis along the southern U.S. border.

Meanwhile, former President Trump managed to solve it without giving away America’s goodies. He accomplished it instead by using threats of tariffs to compel America’s southern neighbors to get with the program and secure their own borders.
In Harris’s case, she refuses to even tour the border herself to at least understand the nature of the problem. Instead she’s presumed to know it all, and in presuming to know it all, she’s managed to do nothing to stop, let alone stop down, border crossings.
It’s almost as if she has no idea what she’s doing …
This woman has no idea what she’s doing. It is obvious that she is way in over her head.

@vp encouraging US companies to invest in other countries, which will eventually translate into jobs being sent out of the US. I can’t believe this incompetent person is in a position of power in this country, we are screwed.

Joe picked a VP who wouldn’t outshine him intellectually.
