The former GOP Rep. slammed Eric Trump as a 'child' for resharing a post over Memorial Day weekend about how his family 'gave up everything to save America.'

Former Illinois Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger called Eric Trump "a child" for resharing a post heading into Memorial Day weekend claiming that his family "gave up everything to Save America."

The photo in the original post that was shared by Eric, features former President Donald Trump flanked by his wife Melania, and his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric, who are shown standing next to their respective partners Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump.


Eric Trump later retweeted the photo—which was captioned "The family that gave up everything to Save America"—and responded with all the modesty he could muster:

"And we will do it again!"

Eric Trump's post soon caught Kinzinger's attention—and he was quick to point out just how inappropriate the younger Trump scion's post was ahead of a day meant to honor fallen service members.

He wrote:

"I wasn’t going to tweet anything political this weekend, but i have to make an exception for this. Your family has sacrificed nothing, your name will become synonymous with “Benedict Arnold” and how dare you tweet this, THIS weekend."
"You don’t know the first thing about service you child."

Kinzinger himself is a military veteran, having previously served in the United States Air Force. He also flew missions in South America, Guam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Many appreciated Kinzinger's remarks.



Many joined him criticizing Eric Trump's tactless post.

Eric Trump's post came as his father faces renewed criticism for the many times he's disrespected members of the military, particularly the "suckers and losers" who die in combat.

According to a 2020 report from The Atlantic, Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018. At the time, four individuals with direct knowledge of the situation revealed that Trump declined the visit due to concerns about his hair being affected by the rain and a lack of importance placed on honoring American war dead.

During discussions with senior staff members on the morning of the planned visit, Trump questioned the necessity of visiting the cemetery, referring to it as "filled with losers." Additionally, on the same trip, he reportedly referred to the over 1,800 Marines who perished at Belleau Wood as "suckers" for losing their lives.

TikToker Calls Out Parents For 'Abandoning' Kid In Stroller To Go On Ride At Disneyland

We can all agree that going to an amusement park is very expensive, and most of us would like to cram as much as we can into our visit to make the expense worth it.

That might mean splitting up for a little while so different people in the group can go on the rides they want to go on, and then catching up with each other and sharing our experiences later.
