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.
And you are just as guilty as MSM if you repeat something like that without providing more context, IMO.
Any time you can piss off a Dimwit is time well spent.
Why isn’t the left not asking why their Heroes, Biden and Harris were not there?
Is it because Biden is on permanent vacation and Kamala can’t be bothered by something like that?
All you have to do is google it. It’s everywhere. Are you saying it didn’t happen? LOL.

And yet the murderer Ted Kennedy is rotting there but that’s OK with the masses.
I’m saying your portrayal of it is in line with you evil false arrival here,
but you go gurl
Biden looked at his watch and decided he didn’t have time for it. He nor Harris werent invited anyway.
If it was an outrage and desecration, you would think the Gold Star families would have objected. But they invited him, and Trump made the two slugs look bad. From what I heard, Bideb was on his extended beach vacation, and Harris had nothing scheduled that would have kept her away. And neither had the courtesy to respond to the invitation. Maybe they decided to stay away because they didn’t want call attention to the fact that the fiasco in Afghanistan was the direct result of the incompetence of their regime.
Are you saying it didn’t happen, or it did happen but people arent angry about it? You do you.
This is Komrade Kamala’s real “JOY”

Wear the hell were the Fibbies?
And I’m fed up with the lefties. Every last one of them.
Exactly.
“My brother is buried in that cemetery”. Sorry slick. I’ve got to call booschidt on your anti-Trump vomit. Go see a shrink, liar. I’ll bet you’re a “republican” and drive a “Honda Prius” also.
That just shows how desperate they are.
Everyone in that photo is smiling and/or flashing a hand sign. You’ve done gone full ruh-tarded.
They’re crying because they know it’s another unforced error by the Harris campaign and not being at Arlington, when it’s now known both Harris and Biden were invited several times and refused to go, is a bad look in an election year.
