Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump and his campaign for disrespecting Arlington National Cemetery during a political stunt in a recent statement. Harris emphasized the importance of honoring veterans and military families while condemning Trump for his actions at the cemetery. Trump defended himself, claiming he was invited by families to take photos at their loved ones’ graves. In response, Harris called on Trump to never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States. Trump’s running mate JD Vance and campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt attacked Harris, blaming her for the deaths of service members during the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Following Harris’ statement, Trump posted videos on X showing families of killed service members defending him and criticizing Harris. The families expressed gratitude for Trump’s support and blamed Biden and Harris for the deaths of their loved ones. They accused Harris of being disrespectful and lacking compassion, contrasting Trump’s behavior. Mark Schmitz, Herman Lopez, and Darin Hoover, who lost children in the attack, strongly condemned Harris’s remarks and praised Trump’s actions. The controversy surrounding the incident at Arlington National Cemetery highlights the ongoing political tension between the Biden-Harris administration and the Trump camp.
