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."

“The post was one of several made by both liberal and Democratic organizations”
…lol! Pretending there’s a difference
Liberal people are stupid.
The DNC has fallen so far and so deep that it cannot think about anything but get Trump.
God Bless this lady.
As much as I oppose everything she does in the political arena, I will always respect and admire her military heroism. I would be honored to serve with her anytime, anywhere.
I bet a lot more died in Chicago alone over the weekend.
. I would be honored to serve with her anytime, anywhere.
.....
Since she’s been in the Senate, we’ve had they spied on my campaign, two hoax impeachments, Wuhan Coup flu stolen election, and targeted lawfare..
She’s lucky she’s not in Gitmo serving with the rest of the Coup co-conspirators.
Point.
All politics, all the time. That level of monomania used to result in a long rest in the funny farm.
Fork the DemocRAT sewage. Real slime.
Bob Dole was severely criticized for referring to “Democrat wars.”
