Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) on Tuesday said President Trump should not be allowed to attend next week’s D-Day anniversary event after Trump sided with North Korean leader Kim Jon Un in his criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden.
“Disgusting display by Trump. No mention of #MemorialDay. He shouldn’t be allowed at anniversary of D-Day June 6. I was there Sunday. What an honor to recall what brave Americans did for freedom,” Cohen tweeted Tuesday.
{mosads}Cohen cited recent comments by Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), who called out Trump’s remarks about Biden, but also asked where the rest of the GOP stood regarding the president’s actions.
King tweeted Monday that it was wrong for Trump to criticize Biden and side with Kim.
“Politics stops at water’s edge. Never right to side with a murderous dictator vs. fellow American,” King said on Twitter.
Cohen is among the 30-plus House Democrats who have called for an impeachment inquiry against the president.
Trump has said he plans to travel to France for events commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day, on June 6.
He spent Memorial Day weekend in Japan, where he backed Kim’s “low IQ individual” characterization of the former vice president.
“Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual. He probably is, based on his record. I think I agree with him on that,” Trump said during a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Trump later targeted Biden’s support of the 1994 crime bill.
