Controversy erupted after former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton seemingly compared former President Donald Trump to Hitler on Twitter on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Clinton’s remarks on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, which compared the fight against Nazi Germany to voting against former President Donald Trump, have sparked controversy. Clinton used this historical milestone to emphasize the importance of voting in the context of protecting democracy. She equated the efforts of those who voted against Trump to the actions of the soldiers who participated in the Normandy landings, a pivotal event in World War II.
Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy.
This November, all we have to do is vote.

Holy shit I despise these people. It’s impossible to capture just how loathsome a comment this is.
To cheapen what WWII heroes did to BS garbage politics makes me sick.
Again, WWII veterans deserve so much better than this. https://t.co/kkZegFKaf9— Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) June 6, 2024
What an enormously stupid and vile comment. 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. https://t.co/4SM5u62XKz

Allied forces, including the United States, launched the historic D-Day invasion of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. This event marked a crucial turning point in World War II and initiated the European liberation from Nazi Germany’s reign.
