Vice President Kamala Harris excoriated former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday for his visit on Monday to Arlington National Cemetery, where his campaign’s filming of him in a heavily restricted area caused a confrontation between one of his political aides and a cemetery official.
In her first public comments on the situation, Ms. Harris said that Mr. Trump had desecrated a solemn place that should be free of politics when he appeared there for a wreath-laying ceremony for 13 service members who were killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan during the withdrawal of U.S. troops three years ago.
“Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt,” Ms. Harris wrote on X.

This is her campaign.
Her entire campaign
She should listen to the advice she’s shoveling out. Arlington is no place for a campaign
Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris
As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.
It is not a place for politics.
And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt.
This is nothing new from Donald Trump. This is a man who has called our fallen service members “suckers” and “losers” and disparaged Medal of Honor recipients.
A man who, during a previous visit to the cemetery, reportedly said of fallen service members, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
This is a man who is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself.
If there is one thing on which we as Americans can all agree, it is that our veterans, military families, and service members should be honored, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude.
And it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America.
I will always honor the service and sacrifice of all of America’s fallen heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our beloved nation and our cherished freedoms. I mourn them and salute them. And I will never politicize them.

Sorry, ho, but we know the whole story.
You lose.
Trump was a guest of the Gold Star families. You know them Kamala. They are the people you killed.
JD Vance @JDVance
President Trump was there at the invitation of families whose loved ones died because of your incompetence.
Why don’t you get off social media and go launch an investigation into their unnecessary deaths?

THAT FACT CANNOT ENTER HER MUSH FILLED BRAIN
Asked by the surviving families to be there. One photographer was brought to preserve those solemn moments for family. UX government controlled PBS video taped the entire ceremony
Camela, if he intended the photographer to take campaign pictures, where are they in his campaign ads?. Secondly, watch the PBS stream. He did NOT look at his damned watch once. Unlike that vegetable you’re supposed to be standing in for.
Screw off, witch.
biden/harris killed them
biden/harris refuse to honor them
You are the responsible for the murders of 13 servicemen/servicewomen- whore...
Truth is the Arlington visit was a kind gesture to the Families of 13 lost Military.
Kammie got bad advise on this one!
Maybe if this woman and stupid boss had done their jobs properly there wouldn’t have been a knee jerk withdrawal and this 13 soldiers wouldn’t have been killed thus there wouldn’t have been a memorial service to attend.
This bint doesn’t think too deeply does she?
Apparently it’s not a place for her, either.
Sorry we know the truth - inaccurate comments about DJT!
Kammy and her Kommie krowd are a one-trick pony.
It will take more than orange man bad to win over swing state voters and independents as well as a growing number of traditional Democrat voters who have become disaffected.
I’d dare to say there is an orange man bad fatigue.
Trump can fight a campaign on many fronts.
Of course, it helps when you are on not woke and on the right side of the issues.
Trump measures his personal attacks with his position on the issues but MOST IMPORTANTLY he is pounding the big picture.
This pair is the most left wing pair to ever seek our highest offices and what is more he calls them out for what they are, Marxists.
Again with the suckers and losers bs that has been debunked a hundred times. She is a blatant liar who knows she’s lying. And I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that she “loathes the military” like Willy Rapist, and”all of this for a flag” Bammy and Mammy.
I hope she isn't embellishing her record again. There seems to be alot of that coming out of her campaign.
Horizontal sez that an awful lot.

A 3;26 minute long video of Vance answering a question about Trump’s Arlington visit. He addresses Harris’s lack of investigation into the tragedy at the end. You can tell he is passionate about it and his disgust of her at the end.
