Trump's Arlington Visit Sparks Criticism from Harris
Former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery to honor the 13 servicemembers killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal, a gesture criticized by Vice President Kamala Harris as a political stunt. Harris condemned Trump's actions, particularly the use of footage from the visit in campaign ads, asserting that Arlington is a sacred place meant for honoring fallen heroes, not for political activities. While Trump's campaign claimed they had permission from Gold Star families to film, federal law prohibits political activities at the cemetery, leading to conflicting accounts of an altercation between Trump's staff and a cemetery employee. Harris emphasized that Trump's history of disparaging veterans further discredits his actions. The U.S. Army defended the cemetery employee involved, stating she acted professionally amid the incident. This controversy highlights ongoing tensions between the Biden administration and Trump as the election approaches.
