Biden Neglects To Commemorate D-Day, Tweets About Tulsa Massacre Instead

By • June 7, 2021 7:00 pm

President Joe Biden reportedly chose to upload a video of himself meeting with survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre instead of commemorating the 77th anniversary of D-Day on June 6.

None of Biden’s Twitter accounts — @POTUS, @JoeBiden, or @WhiteHouse — had mentioned the D-Day which is often referred to as the largest amphibious invasion ever undertaken. 

“I met with survivors of the Tulsa Massacre this week to help fill the silence. Because in silence, wounds deepen. And, as painful as it is, only in remembrance do wounds heal,” Biden tweeted from his presidential Twitter account on Sunday, also the commemoration of D-Day.

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert called out the Democrat president for appearing to forget the D-Day anniversary. 

“Neither Joe Biden’s personal nor his official Presidential Twitter acknowledged #DDay yesterday,” the GOP lawmaker wrote on Twitter.

“Perhaps he knows that he has less in common with the Allies of that time and much more in common with the Axis,” she added.

“On the 77th Anniversary of #DDay, President Biden made no mention of the incredible sacrifice our military & allied forces made. President Trump never forgot their sacrifice,” Jessie Jane Duff, Newsmax Contributor said.

Vice President Kamala Harris however, posted about D-Day after also drawing criticism for her “enjoy the long weekend” tweet during the Memorial Day weekend.

“On the 77th anniversary of #DDay, we honor the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy and liberated a continent. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice,” she wrote.

According to records from the British Normandy Memorial 22,442 people were killed on D-Day and at the Battle of Normandy. 

“D-Day” opened a second front that led to the eventual defeat and downfall of Nazi Germany.  In 1944, more than 5,000 ships and landing craft were employed to transport troops and supplies, while some 11,000 aircraft were mobilized to provide air cover and support for the largest military assault in history.

British Prime Minister also posted to commemorate June 6,1944.

“As General Eisenhower said, when Allied troops landed on Normandy’s beaches that June morning in 1944 the eyes of the world were upon them. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere marched with them,”Johnson said. “77 years on, we thank and remember them. #DDay.”

Social media flooded with D-Day commemoration

Meanwhile, posts remembering D-Day flooded on social media.

“Today we pay solemn tribute to the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect the freedom of the world. May we never forget the sacrifices made that day. #DDay #DDay77,” Senator Ted Cruz wrote.

“The bravery, courage, and sacrifice exhibited by Americans on June 6, 1944 should never be forgotten. Make a point to teach our younger generation about the significance of this day!” Rep. Marjorie Greene said.

 Senator Rand Paul said: “Today is the day to honor the #DDay heroes. They defended our liberty and fought for a noble cause. Let’s never forget their bravery or the cost of war.”

The US Marines wrote: “77 years ago today, in one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history, more than 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe. May we #neverforget their courage and sacrifice.  #dday #dday77.”

The US Navy also posted on Twitter saying: “#RemembertheFallen 77 years ago today, more than 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe. #dday #dday77.”
