As we reported yesterday, many on Twitter were angry at the DNC for this “Happhy Memorial Day weekend” tweet featuring President Obama eating an ice cream cone:
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! pic.twitter.com/TMBSu187Pb

And people were angry at them for celebrating barbecues, too:

But if ice cream and bbqs aren’t your thing for a Memorial Day weekend, how about a little shopping at the DNC store?

However, the DNC finally tweeted out some appropriate messages on the true meaning of this holiday early Sunday evening:
