Meanwhile gangs are attacking Americans in Colorado...

[TheLastKentuckyIrregular]

And she got absolutely trashed by the families.

When was the last time VP Harris walked through Arlington?? If snyone knows plesse respond. As a patriot it was my mission to go, walk through & see the graves & visit the tomb of the unknow soldiers, & pay respect. That was how i was raised.

[LAQ]

Where was Biden or Harris for that matter???

[iborg]

Remember when Harris honored the 13 soldiers killed in their failed Afghan withdrawal.?
Yah, me neither.

[suebryant-qo]

she made quite a few remarks on X and she got blown out of the water and not just by the families

[cnk]

See video from the gold star parents; very powerful explanations from gold star parents involved.

[neildepoy]

The parents denounced this statement and showed their anger toward Harris, well deserved.

[freecitizen]

President Trump was invited by the Gold-star families to attend the ceremony at Arlington.

[vhhknud]

If I were harris I would keep my mouth shutt, after all bidin did the very same thing in the exact 60 section, he took pictures and used them in his campaign add!! So if against rules for trump, then the rules also apply to bidin!!

[kefs]

The real questions:
Why didn't Harris go? She was 4miles away and she was invited.
Why didn't Biden go? He was invited but was pictured at the beach again.

[aleececollamore]

I would really like to see the video that Trump's people took. Most of the Gold Star families that were there were unaware of the problem and said that THEY had gotten permission of the visit.

[russellbowen]

This is a democratic lie. It didn't happen. A gold star family asked him to take the picture.

[kimberlycockram]

Nominee. Unless I’m mistaken she wasn’t nominated.

[patsamuel]

At least he was there to show his respect, where were you and the president????

[laurens.]

Does she really care? She wasn't rhere to honor the Gold Star Families.

[derekhacker]

It's disgusting that Harris is politicizing this

[JAMESPOE-pz]

Families did interview Thanking President Trump for being there and blame that person last one in the room

[alexordonez]

She was invited and never showed up. Probably was drunk.

[jenniferworley]

He was Invited By The Gold Star Families...Shut Up Spinning Fake News...
