Gold Star Family Members of Fallen U.S. Servicemembers Killed in Afghanistan Nuke Kamala Harris
Breitbart ^ | 31 Aug 2024 | Elizabeth Weibel

Families of the 13 fallen United States servicemembers who were killed during the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s statement criticizing Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover; Coral Doolittle, the mother of Marine Corps Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez; Jaclyn, and Mark Schmitz, the mother and father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz; Steve Nikoui, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui; Jim McCollum, the father of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum; Herman Lopez, father of Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez; and Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole Gee criticized a statement from Harris in videos released by former President Donald Trump on Truth Social.

In the videos, the families praised Trump as having treated them with “the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding,” and as someone who has “taken the time” to listen to the families’ “stories” and help the families “get some accountability” from the Biden administration. The families criticized Harris for “playing politics” and issuing a “heinous, vile and disgusting” statement that was a “political spin” to help her look better.

“Kamala, we have been treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and understanding by President Trump, something you and Joe Biden have refused to do since August 26, 2021,” Hoover said in his video. “Where were you and Joe Biden on August 26, 2024? Nowhere near Arlington Cemetery. You couldn’t be bothered to be with us or even say our kid’s names, just as you had done for the last three years. Neither one of you have called to speak with us or share in our grief. I wonder Kamala, do you sleep at night securely in your bed or do you have nightmares of our kids because...

Where are the house Republicans backing Trump up on this? With their heads up their asses again. They have been given a gift with democrats trying to make an issue outta this knowing that the families invited Trump there.

These are powerful, please tell me Trump is also posting them to his X account. The media is going to bury all of these videos.

I wonder what Kumalot thinks of Gov’t employees who jog through Arlington Nat’l Cemetary morning, noon, and after work? It can’t be that sacred of a spot if it serves as an ad hoc fartlek. With all due respect... my parents are buried there.

These parents could never come to terms that Biden’s commissars specifically prevented a Marine sniper from taking out the suicide bomber that killed their children. Biden’s bizarre policies resulted in their deaths and he absolutely refused to allow anyone in his Administration to answer their questions.

They would be alive if the Marine sniper who had the suicide bomber in his sights but was denied the authorization he sought to remove the threat.

The Arlington Cemetary bureaucrat who hassled Trump at the ceremonny needs to be transfered to duty at a military cemetery at a remote location. Maybe in Alaska?

I’ve seen i.ages of a campaign ad by Biden that showed him at Arlington. That alone should shut down the “no photography” hoax.

The persistence of these hoaxes is bizarre. They’ve all been disproven, but the Harris people keep repeating them.

Where ever are they on anything? We deserve a better party. Fortunately, some housecleaning has transpired in the primaries. Need to keep up this trend so that eventually the GOP will come to represent the interests, concerns, and values of Americans.

Trump better transfer every single democrat to the opposite side of the country and away from any of their family. Let them retire and get out of the way if they can decline. We are going to be paying for their retirement anyway. Why not stop it sooner rather than later?

Proof positive that Trump’s visit to Arlington was a big embarrassment for Kamala. It highlights that the A-stan surrender was a Biden-Harris disaster. I’m glad that the gambit to paint Trump as opportunistic is blowing up in their faces.

Biden’s Afghan withdrawal was an atrocity.

Biden’s self serving policies resulting in the deaths of these young men.......
were made only to make himself look good politically.

Astoundingly, he bragged about what a “great job” he’d done.

So caught up in gold-plating his atrocious political legacy, he’s refused to allow his
Administration to answer questions, and has thumbed his nose at the parents ever since.
