Gold Star family speaks out to defend Trump after media attack

Gold Star mother Kelly Barnett, whose son, Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover, was among the 13 US service members killed during the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan, has spoken out about Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

It comes as Mr Trump has sparked backlash after he visited Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.

Ms Barnett during an interview with NBC defended the former US president, stating that she had invited him.

Sky News host Rita Panahi reacted to the US media’s backlash of Mr Trump after being captured posing for pictures with the Gold Star families.

The left needs to be more outraged why these 13 soldiers ended up in that cemetery.

My wife is buried in Arlington National Cemetery after dying on active duty.
President Trump, thank you for supporting these gold star families.

Say it loud and strong Rita.. I'm an American veteran and we don't get this here from our media.

[NickSmith-dzni]

Keep up the good work Rita, from USA.

Really! How low will the media stoop to raise Harris. Instead you should be asking where was Harris and Biden? Why were they absent on this anniversary?

"You contemptible dirtbags"!
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
I just fell in love with Rita Panahi! ❤❤❤

CNN should be endorsing Trump with how much they report on him compared to Kamala

[FrankGallagherr]

Who thinks Harris is 100X worse than Biden ?..

[timberrr]

Family members support Trump’s actions.

[stevewiles]

So does that mean no future Democrat President will ever attend a military funeral or memorial event ever again?

Where is the president and vice president.
That's the SOLE duty of BIDEN HARRIS.
SALUTE TRUMP 2024

[MrEmeralddog]

Presidents are supposed to honor the fallen this is insane !!!! so where was Biden still on a vacation? Trump deserves to be honored for honoring these fallen. God bless him.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️

It's quite obviously clear that President Trump loves the military especially the veterans, law enforcement and ICE, which is why they all strongly support him to take back the White House and save America's Constitutional Republic.

These people don’t get that the American people recognize what’s going on and it only hurts them, this behavior is not gaining them any points at all with anybody matter fact they’re losing people.

[pemburuhutan]

Serve everybody except Americans: this is Kamala's values in a nutshell.

An invited guest turns up, and the media freak out about it.
