“Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Cori Bush (D-MO) appeared to confuse Memorial Day — a day to honor fallen American service members — with Veterans Day, a day to honor those who have served.
Omar posted on X from her congressional account:
On #MemorialDay, we honor the heroic men and women who served our country.
We owe them more than our gratitude — they have more than earned access to quality mental health services, job opportunities, housing assistance, and the benefits they were promised.
Bush posted on her congressional X account:
This #MemorialDay & every day, we honor our veterans in St. Louis.
We must invest in universal health care, affordable housing, comprehensive mental health services, and educational & economic opportunities for our veterans as we work to build a world free of war and violence.
After both received flak from X users for not knowing the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, they deleted their posts.
HAHAHA HOLY SHLIT.

Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Cori Bush just deleted their Memorial Day tweets after revealing they have no clue what it is. pic.twitter.com/EsuGYAF6xS
One is a Muslim Jihadist invader, and the other is a ghetto black woman who can barely speak English.

Of course neither of them know what Memorial Day is.
Both are a STAIN on our country.
DEI DISASTERS!
Wish they would both leave my country. @IlhanMN @CoriBush
