Dems delete Memorial Day post using US service members’ deaths to criticize Trump: ‘Disgusting’
"Never forget Democrats used fallen soldiers to score political points and for clicks. The most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed!"

A pair of Democratic lawmakers – both combat veterans – blasted their own party for a social media post marking Memorial Day.Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) called out the the Democratic National Committee for posting photos of 13 U.S. service members killed during the military conflict with Iran and blaming President Donald Trump for their deaths.“It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day,” Duckworth posted on her social media accounts. “I’m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC.”Duckworth served in the U.S. Army from 1992 to 2014 and lost both of her legs and injured her right arm during a 2004 combat mission during the Iraq War.Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), who served as an Army Ranger during three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, also criticized the DNC post.“If we want the moral high ground, we have to be better,” Crow posted. “I fought for our country and served with those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s wrong to politicize this day. I won’t hesitate to call out my own team when we fall short."The president also drew criticism for his Memorial Day social media messages attacking Democrats."Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year," Trump posted early that morning. "Memorial Day is traditionally one of the most unifying moments on the American political calendar, a day when presidents of both parties have set aside partisan conflict to honor the men and women who died in service to the country.""God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all!" he added.The DNC eventually deleted its post after receiving criticism from the Democratic lawmakers, but Trump's message and subsequent posts attacking his rivals remain online.

This Tuesday night, May 26 in a U.S. Senate primary runoff, Texas Republicans will choose between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and State Attorney General Ken Paxton — a far-right conspiracy theorist who President Donald Trump endorsed. Paxton is clearly the more MAGA of the two, while Cornyn is being supported by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) and other traditional GOP establishment conservatives. According to Politico reporters Liz Crampton and Samuel Benson, this primary is so "brutal" that some GOP insiders are "worried the party will emerge in tatters.""Armed with President Donald Trump's endorsement," the journalists explain in Politico, "Paxton has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the final days of a Texas Senate runoff where the MAGA-aligned, scandal-plagued firebrand state attorney general has weathered millions of dollars in attack ads. But Cornyn, the establishment favorite and a giant of the Senate seeking a fifth term in office, is putting up a hard fight until the end, bolstered by a massive war chest and solidarity from senior leadership in Congress…. The race has become increasingly vicious in the final stretch, with Cornyn accusing the attorney general of being ethically unfit for office and Paxton arguing that the incumbent, 74, is too old to continue serving in the Senate."Crampton and Benson continue, "Their relentless mudslinging has only deepened existing divisions between the GOP's hardliners and traditional moderates. Several Republicans in both Texas and Washington warn that Trump's decision to endorse Paxton over Cornyn has alienated lawmakers on Capitol Hill — and risks turning off major GOP donors who will be critical during an expensive general election."One of the Republicans who is sounding the alarm is Daniel Garza, president of the Texas-based conservative group, the LIBRE Institute.Garza told Politico, "In Spanish, they call it lucha de gigantes — a fight between two giants. Post-runoff, you're going to have to mend a lot of fences."Some conservatives, including Thune and Washington Post columnist George Will, believe that the Democratic nominee, Texas State Rep. James Talarico, would have a better shot against Paxton than he would against Cornyn. And Crampton and Benson note that "national Republicans" are "growing increasingly worried that having Paxton as the nominee will force them to spend massively to hold onto the seat, sucking away resources from other top battlegrounds."A GOP state lawmaker in Texas, interviewed on condition of anonymity, told Politico, "The vitriol is going to be real. (Trump) has destroyed that trust there. No matter what we do for you, you will still stab us in the back. That's what he did to Cornyn."A GOP strategist, also interviewed by Politico on condition of anonymity, said of Cornyn, "To say he's the most adored politician by the donor class in Texas is an understatement. That's why this is hard to come to grips with, because he was viewed as the gatekeeper to every major donor in the state, and there's not a close second."Veteran GOP strategist Mark McKinnon told Politico, "If Cornyn loses, he will be (the) last of the compassionate conservatives — and it will signal the end of years of Republican ascendancy in the Lone Star State."
