GOP Chair Claims D-Day Anniversary Should Be About 'Celebrating Our President'

Apparently, the “D” in D-Day stands for “Donald Trump,” at least according to Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.

The GOP chair appeared on Fox Business on Wednesday to basically moan about the way the media has covered the president’s trip to Europe.

She then suggested that Trump should be a main focus of the 75th-anniversary commemoration of D-Day.

“We are celebrating the anniversary, 75 years of D-Day,” McDaniel said. “This is the time where we should be celebrating our president, the great achievements of America, and I don’t think the American people like the constant negativity.”

gave on D-Day was painful.

At least I could turn the channel. I feel sorry for those who had to sit through the whole thing at the Portsmouth ceremony.

The Kool-Aid Man must have been twisting arms this week. A statement like this is a dishonor to our military and to the country.

Can this woman even hear herself or are these insulting comments programmed into the psyche?

Shame on her!

That storming the beaches of Normandy was all about celebrating American greatness? Surely she jests.

Romney-McDaniel needs to watch SAVING PRIVATE RYAN to get a feel about what D-Day was about from a cinematic perspective. It is one of those films that is watched one day per year.

Your ignorance is alarming.

she should hand out muzzles to her party members. The gall kills me, almost as much as the ignorant arrogance. God but some sh*t lights me up.

What he deserves is to be locked up and put away forever for the damage he has done to our country, both here and abroad.
