Crazed Kamala Supporters Attack Arlington National Cemetery Director for Allowing Trump To Lay Wreaths on Soldiers’ Graves
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 27, 2024 | Alana Goodman

Fuming Kamala Harris supporters are calling for the director of the Arlington National Cemetery to be "fired" for allowing Donald Trump to attend a Monday memorial service for fallen soldiers.

Democratic media figures and activists expressed their fury at Arlington National Cemetery director Karen Durham-Aguilera, a longtime senior Army official, after Trump marked the third anniversary of the Kabul airport terrorist attack by attending a wreath-laying ceremony with the families of the fallen service members. The Gold Star families invited Trump to attend the service.

Thirteen American soldiers were killed and 18 wounded in the Abbey Gate suicide bombing during the Biden-Harris administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

Steve Schmidt—a failed GOP campaign operative known for smearing his deceased war hero ex-boss, John McCain—accused Trump of "desecrat[ing] Arlington National Cemetery and America’s most hallowed ground."

Charles P. Pierce, an opinion writer for Esquire, said Trump "grotesquely used Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop."

"[H]ow dare you let that creep Trump do what he did yesterday. You must like our service men and women being called suckers and losers! You are really a low class person. You need to resign. Shame on you!" wrote one Harris supporter in a message to Durham-Aguilera on X.

"F—king disgusting! My brother is buried in that cemetery. U should be fired," wrote another X user.

Others flooded Durham-Aguilera with comments calling her a "disgrace" who should "RESIGN IMMEDIATELY"; arguing that "Heads should roll for whoever approved that"; and demanding to know, "Why was the draft-dodging rapist thug convicted felon traitor wannabe dictator laying a wreath today???"

A spokeswoman for the Arlington National Cemetery told the Washington Free Beacon that Trump "was invited by a Gold Star family to participate in a public wreath-laying ceremony and was afforded the same access to ANC ground and facilities as afforded to other unofficial visitors."

"Our focus was on supporting our Gold Star families as they came to honor and pay respect to their loved ones at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and their final resting place," said the spokeswoman.

Biden and Kamala were reminded of the ceremony 3 times and refused to attend. Trump was invited and attended

Can’t be posted too many times.

The Gold Star families invited Trump to attend the service.

The people who would deprive the families of the respect for their loved ones' service, the recognition of the families' loss...the people who would deny that to those families are despicable human beings.

Family members of the service members k*lled in the Biden Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan just released a statement backing Trump This is in response to the FAKE NEWS NPR story blasting President Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery

Note to Deep State: I hope your stupidity in not memory holing coverage of the event inspires more people to watch the ceremony.

More people will see why Trump terrifies you.

I’ve often said that Deep State’s frontmen are idiots.

Now I’m beginning to wonder about the people hiding behind them...

That’s what I figured too. The matter-of-fact way of lying by omission most likely tries to hide that she’s just here to troll.

I don’t mind other viewpoints. If she was offering information that our confirmation bias might overlook it would be a service to us all. But it’s just lies. Just a waste of all our time at best.

Thank you for posting that. We’ve seen footage from Arlington before, so it seems crazy for anybody to say that photographers are absolutely not allowed. And of course the families would want a remembrance of the event.

The left hates it that these people are even still alive because they are proof of the Biden/Kamala regime’s utter failure.

I don’t think Biden Administration even sent a representative to the ceremony.

From Schmidt's Wikipedia bio, "Schmidt has said that he has been diagnosed with a learning disability that makes higher math difficult for him."

I have always said that libprogs are math-impaired. They cannot imagine the true scale of our nation, of our electorate, or of the true weight of opinions. They cannot reckon with real statistics. They just make things up and then repeat them over and over, with the help of other useful idiots in the media. Stupidity is dangerous. They are ruining the nation "for want of a nail."

That "I'm so f'n fleek" picture is the male equivalent of a girl duck lips selfie on TikTok.

Here's the inflated worth of your pet project, Steve:

Did Biden and/or Harris need permission to honor these fallen troops? /s I’m not aware of them even acknowledging the anniversary.

Jack Posobiec posted on X the 3 dates that Biden and Kamala were reminded about this event. Joe Biden is a liar.

Maybe the families privately sent word that he would not be welcome. Or that he could come, but Trump was invited and would be there, so Joe chickened out.
