We can’t think of a better way to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day than to share this important reminder from progressive journalist Eoin Higgins:
On the 75th anniversary of D-Day, take a moment to remember that it was the Soviets that beat Hitler, not the U.S.
— Eoin Higgins (@EoinHiggins_) June 6, 2019
We’re honestly not familiar with his journalistic oeuvre, but if it’s anything like that tweet, it must really be something.

That's quite the revisionist sentence you got there.

It sure is.
Apologies to the liberals in my mentions for ruining their nationalist mythology
— Eoin Higgins (@EoinHiggins_) June 6, 2019
You should really be apologizing to all the people who ever took you seriously.
On the 75th anniversary of D-Day i will take a moment to remember D-Day, thank you very much.

This is as wrong a way to describe the war as it is to spell Owen.
The Soviet people took horrific casualties, for sure.
They also got immense amounts of war material from us.
That's why it is correct to say the Allies won. https://t.co/yMKER9dZsS

Soviet Army would have starved w/out Lend/Lease.
Are we going to just pretend the USSR didn't ally w/Hitler and carve up Poland, too?— Jon Munce (@jonmunce) June 6, 2019
You mean the Soviets who were allied with Hitler for quite a few years and then went on to enslave much of Eastern Europe for the following half century! Those Soviets?

Damn, my father could have totally skipped D-Day.

Hindsight’s 20/20! Well, for a lot of people. Not for Higgins, evidently. He doesn’t seem to know what happened just a few hours ago:

Wow. So he’s as great a journalist as he is a historian! It’s really not fair for one man to possess that much talent.

Kids, this is what desperate and unhinged looks like. Take note and avoid being this guy.
