Gold Star Families Blast Kamala Harris for Criticizing Trump’s Visit to Arlington National Cemetery
During a recent speech, a spokesperson for the Gold Star families accused Vice President Kamala Harris of spreading lies and deceit about President Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery.
The spokesperson expressed their outrage by stating, “Your recent remarks related to Trump’s recent visit to Arlington are filled with nothing but lies and deceit. How do you sleep at night knowing… you are responsible for the death of our 13 kids?”
Eight of the 13 parents of fallen soldiers provided videos condemning the Democratic presidential nominee for her comments.
In a group statement shared by President Trump, the Gold Star families expressed their disappointment in Harris for politicizing Trump’s visit to the cemetery. They emphasized that Trump was invited by them to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of their children’s deaths to honor their sacrifice. They accused Harris of twisting the sacred moment into a political agenda.
The videos released by the Gold Star families were in direct response to Harris criticizing Trump for allegedly making a “political stunt” at a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Harris accused Trump of disrespecting sacred ground by filming a video of himself at the event.
The tension between the Gold Star families and Harris highlights the sensitive nature of honoring fallen soldiers and the importance of maintaining respect and dignity in such ceremonies.
