DNC Deletes Sickening Politicized Memorial Day Post After Blowback From Democrat Senator

A democratic Party X account posted a Memorial Day message about 13 American service members who died in the Iran War, framing it as part of a political attack on President Donald Trump. The post was later deleted after pushback-especially from Illinois Sen.Tammy Duckworth, a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot-who criticized using fallen service members for political purposes. Although the account later put up an amended Memorial Day post without the same political framing and no apology was issued, the deletion drew additional criticism online, with some users questioning why the post was removed and some pro-Iran outlets initially amplifying it.



The Democratic Party’s official X account deleted a post politicizing the deaths of American service members in Iran on Memorial Day after one of its most prominent veteran lawmakers publicly pushed back.

The post was one of several made by both liberal and Democratic organizations using the day to pin the deaths of troops on President Donald Trump, some of which remain up:

However, while these posts may have drawn some ire, none of them came from the official account of one of America’s two major political parties.

“Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran,” the post read.

It’s unclear whether blowback from conservative accounts is what ultimately killed the post, but Illinois Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth — a former U.S. Army helicopter pilot who served in Iraq — also served as high-profile pressure from the left to take the post down.

“It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day,” she wrote.

“I’m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC.”

It didn’t help, either, that pro-Iran outlets on social media also picked it up:

Duckworth was given some credit from unusual sources, although they noted that this was who the Democratic Party is in 2026.

No apology was issued on X after the post was deleted, although an amended Memorial Day post saying that “we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms” was put up later by the Democrats’ account.

This commemoration, however, wasn’t precisely met with approval in the comments section.

“Why’d you delete your post?” one typical response, including a screenshot of the original post, read.
