On August 26, 2021, 13 service members were killed by bomb during the Biden/Harris panic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Three years later Gold Star families invited Donald Trump to participate in commemoration of their losses.
Kamala Harris took a cheap shot at Trump for his visit:
Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump’s controversial photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery with Gold Star families on Monday, claiming he “disrespected sacred ground.”This didn't sit well with the Gold Star families at all. They issued a video in response:Even though he was invited by Gold Star families, Democratic presidential nominee accused Trump of staging a “political stunt” after his campaign staff got into an altercation with a cemetery employee who tried to stop them from filming and photographing a wreath-laying ceremony in Section 60 — the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“It is not a place for politics,” Harris said in lengthy a statement posted on social media Saturday afternoon.
“Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt,” she continued.

Oh yeah very disrespectful. Gold Star families invite Trump to the ceremony but they don’t want any pictures. Sure too sacred a spot to commemerate the biggest fubar of Secretary Loyd Austen’s illustrious career as a political hack in a uniform.
I have a suggestion for a Babylon Bee headline -
“Gold Star Families Call Out Presidential Candidate For Politicizing Arlington Ceremony. She Fails To Respond.”
