Hillary Clinton faced backlash after mocking President Trump’s military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
In a post on X, she contrasted images of the parade with nationwide “No Kings Day” protests, criticizing the event as a “low-energy Dear Leader parade” that cost taxpayers $45 million. Clinton disabled replies to the post, which fueled further criticism. Conservatives and military supporters accused her of showing “utter contempt” for the armed forces, especially while spending the weekend attending the lavish Hamptons wedding of longtime aide Huma Abedin to Alex Soros, son of billionaire donor George Soros. Critics highlighted the contrast between Clinton’s elite social circle and Trump’s patriotic event, with some referencing her past controversies like Benghazi. The parade coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day and reportedly drew over 250,000 attendees, while some protests turned violent in cities like Portland and Los Angeles. Clinton’s comments reignited debate over patriotism, military respect, and the partisan divide in America’s political culture.
