Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced fierce criticism after posting a side-by-side comparison of President Trump’s military parade and nationwide “No Kings” protests. In her social media post, she contrasted what she called Trump’s “low‑energy” parade—held on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary—with peaceful protest crowds across the nation.
Supporters of Trump accused her of disrespecting the military and unfairly targeting service members, pointing out her attendance at political events outside Washington during the weekend. The backlash intensified as commentators claimed her remarks showed a lack of regard for the troops being honored.
Organizer figures and conservative voices argued that Clinton’s message was ill‑timed and dismissive of a patriotic celebration, framing it as an insult to veterans and active‑duty personnel. The incident underscored deep partisan divisions over the parade’s purpose and value.
