President Joe Biden neglected to commemorate the 77th anniversary of D-Day on Sunday, choosing instead to post a video of himself meeting with survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre.
“I met with survivors of the Tulsa Massacre this week to help fill the silence. Because in silence, wounds deepen. And, as painful as it is, only in remembrance do wounds heal,” Biden tweeted from his presidential Twitter account.
At time of publishing, none of Biden’s Twitter accounts — @POTUS, @JoeBiden, or @WhiteHouse — had made any mention of the largest amphibious invasion in history.
In May 2020, Biden faced accusations of confusing D-Day with Pearl Harbor Day. As Fox News reported at the time:
Joe Biden’s campaign […] denied that the former vice president had confused the date of the D-Day invasion of northern Europe in World War II with the date of Pearl Harbor Day during a fundraiser.
During a livestreamed discussion with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, Biden appeared to switch the June 6 anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France in 1944 with the Dec. 7 anniversary of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1941.
Biden said his home state of Delaware “declared our independence on December the 7th, by the way. And it’s not just D-Day.”
The Biden campaign claimed he was referring to “Delaware Day,” pointing to a state government web page that says: “Since 1933, the governors of Delaware have proclaimed December 7 as Delaware Day in honor of that day in 1787, when Delaware became the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution, thus making Delaware the first state in the New Nation.”
The state website’s page about Delaware Day makes no mention of the anniversary being referred to as “D-Day.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, by contrast, did tweet about D-Day on Sunday, writing, “On the 77th anniversary of #DDay, we honor the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy and liberated a continent. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice.”
