Vice President Kamala Harris drew heat online Saturday for telling Americans to “enjoy the long weekend” — which ends with a national day of mourning.<\/p>\n
Harris tweeted the celebratory words Saturday afternoon, alongside a picture of herself smiling. She did not mention Memorial Day, the upcoming federal holiday reserved for honoring military members that have died protecting the US.<\/p>\n
Reactions to the tweet were largely negative and sarcastic, with one user replying, \u201cI\u2019ve never been able to \u201cenjoy\u201d Memorial Day. It became that much harder when I lost my son fighting for this country. Thanks anyway Madam Vice President.\u201d<\/p>\n
Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin finished Harris’s short sentence: “…and pay tribute to the courageous men and women of our nation\u2019s military who sacrificed their lives in defense of our freedoms and liberties,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Even some admirers of the first female veep did not hesitate to share their displeasure.<\/p>\n
“What a disappointing tweet from a person I like and support. Please do better,” one wrote.<\/p>\n
Staunch supporters of the Democrat fired back at her detractors, two days ahead of the national holiday.<\/p>\n
“[Harris] has done more to respect and honor soldiers and vets in 6 months than the previous administration did in 4 years. Back off,” a comment read.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the White House issued a proclamation marking Memorial Day, signed by President Biden.<\/p>\n
“Our Nation will never forget the courage and patriotism demonstrated by the countless women and men who laid down their lives so that we may continue to pursue a more perfect Union and to protect the unalienable rights Americans hold dear,” it read in part.<\/p>\n
