Reps. Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush appeared to confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day in their initial social media posts.
Omar and Bush posted messages honoring veterans rather than fallen troops, as is appropriate for Memorial Day.
After receiving criticism from users for not understanding the difference between the holidays, both deleted their initial posts and replaced them with ones specifically honoring American troops who died in service.
HAHAHA HOLY SHLIT.
