This Memorial Day tweet from the Democratic Party’s official Twitter account did not go over quite as planned.
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! pic.twitter.com/TMBSu187Pb

CNN’s Jake Tapper, among others, was quick to point out that Barack Obama chowing down on some ice cream is maybe not the most important aspect of Memorial Day:
Respectfully, @TheDemocrats, this is not what Memorial Day Weekend is about. https://t.co/331F9IX2Xz

Most of the other comments on the original tweet were negative.
@TheDemocrats Can you bring yourself to post something relevant to the actual meaning of the holiday?
Nah, the Prez and ice cream.
