At a time when US President and Democrat contender Joe Biden is coming under tremendous pressure for his old age and being lagging behind Republican rival Donald Trump in surveys, Hilary Clinton has triggered a controversy. The former first lady took to social media platform X to observe the 80th anniversary of D-Day and received strong backlash on Thursday.

Hillary Clinton under scathing attack

Soon after Clinton's comment the conservatives swooped down upon her and slammed her. In an X post, RedState writer Bonchie wrote, "Just pure evil. Comparing the sacrifices of those who died to defeat Hitler and retake Europe to Democrats voting against Donald Trump. Sick and disgusting."


Radio host Dana Loesch also criticized the former US Secretary of State. She wrote, "In 2016 you attempted to undo everything they fought for by partnering with Fusion GPS to launder discredited oppo in the press and merchandise it into surveillance warrants on enemies through FISA"


Clinton, who unsuccessfully contested the presidential election against Donald Trump, was slammed for allegedly trying to take political mileage out of the D-Day. It was in contrast to President Joe Biden who used the opportunity to hit out at Russia. He said the "dark forces" veterans fought against are still evident in the world.
