<p>The official X account for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was widely ridiculed on Memorial Day after shamefully using fallen American heroes to attack President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>On Monday, @TheDemocrats on X posted an image of 13 fallen U.S. service members with the caption, &#8220;Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump&#8217;s war with Iran.&#8221;</p>
<p>The image itself also emphasized the president, reading, &#8220;Remembering the Americans who have died in Trump&#8217;s war with Iran.&#8221;</p>
<p>The post was received poorly online, with commenters calling it distasteful and politically motivated. Hours after it was published, the post was deleted.</p>

<p>Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), an Iraq War veteran, commented, &#8220;It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day. I’m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC.&#8221;</p>

<p>Another person on X, Tali Goldsheft, said the post was &#8220;deeply unsettling,&#8221; regardless of one&#8217;s political views.</p>
<p>&#8220;This isn’t just an infuriatingly bad post. It’s deeply unsettling,&#8221; Goldsheft wrote. &#8220;Republicans have a name for it: TDS.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We can stand up against his problematic policies. And we should,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Using American soldiers’ deaths to score points against Trump on Memorial Day, though? Who approved this?&#8221;</p>

<p>The account currently has only one Memorial Day post, which reads: &#8220;This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms.&#8221;</p>
