CNN's Jake Tapper, who has a history of supporting veterans and a resume showing work for Democrats before landing on the cable network, slammed Democrats for posting a Memorial Day tweet of an ice cream-eating President Barack Obama.
The party's tweet, posted Friday, Simply said "Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!" and showed Obama eating ice cream while the press corps took his picture, rather than using the space to remember the sacrifices of military members who lost their lives.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!
Tapper, who before joining CNN was a press secretary for Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, when she served as a Democrat in the House of Representatives, points out the conservative blog American Thinker.
Tapper also had appeared on a list of speakers for a Clinton Global Initiative event scheduled for June 8-10 in Denver, reports USA Today, but after the publication asked CNN about the event, Tapper's name was removed from the Clinton Foundation website.
But Tapper has a history of supporting veterans as well, and was quick to slam the Democrats for their non-patriotic, beginning-of-summer Memorial Day tweet:

Respectfully, @TheDemocrats, this is not what Memorial Day Weekend is about.
