From Trump campaign:
Does Kamala Harris have no decency?
President Trump was invited to Arlington National Cemetery by the families to mark three years since the attack on Abbey Gate that killed 13 American heroes during the Afghanistan withdrawal. President Trump showed up – as he has always shown up for the Gold Star families. Kamala Harris didn’t – adding to years of disrespect from Kamala Harris to the families of the fallen.
Outrageously, Kamala Harris is now trying to attack President Trump for being there for the families, something she has never done.
The Gold Star families responded to Kamala Harris’s shameful post: “We, the families of the brave service members who were tragically killed in the Abbey Gate bombing, are appalled by Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent attempts to politicize President Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery. President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children’s deaths. He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy…Vice President Harris has proven herself unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief.”

This is not an isolated incident from Kamala Harris. She has lied to, failed, and disrespected the Gold Star families of those killed at Abbey Gate for years.
- She played a “key role” in the Afghanistan disaster by her own admission.
- She has defended the decision continually, and praised Joe Biden’s debate performance after he heinously insisted no U.S. servicemembers had died on their watch.
- She has never said the names of the 13 heroes in public.
- There have been no answers for the Gold Stars families as the Harris-Biden administration has stonewalled any accountability.
Kamala Harris claimed in her DNC speech that “I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families, and I will always honor and never disparage their service and their sacrifice.” Kamala Harris has broken that commitment already, repeatedly. She has failed our servicemembers and their families. President Trump never will.
Shame on Kamala Harris.
