Hillary Clinton has come under fire for comparing the D-Day landings and the war against Nazi Germany to voting against Donald Trump in the US election.
Marking the anniversary of D-Day, the former presidential candidate wrote: “Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy.”
Mrs Clinton, the Democrat candidate who ran against Trump in 2016, added: “This November, all we have to do is vote.”

The former secretary of state’s comments were seized on by Republicans, who said her comments were disrespectful to those who fought in the Second World War.
Tommy Tuberville, the Republican senator for Alabama, said: “These Dems couldn’t be more dramatic and deranged.
“They’re comparing storming the beaches of Normandy on #dday to voting against Trump”.
