The recent assault from Vice President Kamala Harris’s camp on former President Donald Trump has exposed a new low in political gamesmanship. It’s not just disgraceful; it’s downright disgusting. Harris’s team has accused Trump of politicizing his visit to Arlington National Cemetery, an accusation that falls flat on its face when you consider the facts—facts that Harris and her allies conveniently ignore.
Trump at Arlington: A Moment of Respect, Not Politics
Let’s set the record straight. Trump’s visit to Arlington wasn’t some cheap political stunt. It was a somber, respectful moment that the Gold Star families themselves requested. These families, who have borne the ultimate sacrifice, asked Trump to be there, and he obliged with the dignity and reverence you would expect from a true leader. He wasn’t just “approved” to be there—he was invited by the very people who understand more about loss and honor than Kamala Harris ever could.
What does Harris do? Instead of acknowledging the pain and the requests of these grieving families, she dismisses Trump’s visit as a political maneuver. Imagine the nerve it takes to spin such a sacred act into something self-serving, especially when she couldn’t be bothered to show up herself. It’s a level of hypocrisy that’s as transparent as it is infuriating.
Gold Star Families Speak Out
The families of those who died in the Afghanistan withdrawal—an operation botched under the Biden-Harris administration—have had enough. They’ve spoken out, and they’re not mincing words. According to them, Trump’s visit was not just appropriate; it was deeply appreciated. Unlike Harris, who has been too busy or too indifferent to reach out in four long years, Trump has been there for these families from day one.
Mark Schmitz, the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, didn’t hold back when he called Harris’s statement “heinous, vile, and disgusting.” And he’s right. For Harris to question Trump’s motives is not just insulting; it’s cruel. Darren Hoover, father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, went even further, condemning Harris for her complete lack of empathy and understanding. He stressed that Trump’s presence was a source of comfort and respect, not some campaign gimmick.
A Veteran’s Perspective: Trump’s Genuine Respect
Even those who’ve served in the military are stepping forward to defend Trump. Sergeant O’Hara, an Army veteran who served in the Old Guard—the unit responsible for Arlington National Cemetery—observed Trump’s behavior firsthand. He noted that Trump spent more time at the graves with the families than any political representative he’d ever seen. No rushing, no handlers trying to move things along, just Trump, genuinely paying his respects.
Now, contrast this with Kamala Harris, who hasn’t bothered to call or visit these families in four years. Trump, on the other hand, didn’t just attend the ceremony; he went the extra mile. When one family couldn’t make it to the cemetery, Trump took time out of his day to FaceTime with them, showing a level of care and compassion that Harris could only dream of emulating.
Media Manipulation and Hypocrisy
But, of course, the media had to twist the narrative. They couldn’t allow a positive moment for Trump to go unscathed. They seized upon the event, warping it into some sort of scandalous “political stunt” orchestrated by Trump. What’s worse, they conveniently overlooked Harris’s glaring absence, her callous disregard for the families involved, and her shameful attempt to smear Trump for something the families themselves wanted.
The media’s willingness to play along with this charade is nothing short of despicable. They’re not just reporting; they’re perpetuating a lie. And they’re doing it to protect a vice president who has shown nothing but disdain for the very people she claims to serve.
Trump’s True Character vs. Harris’s Political Theater
So, let’s be clear: Trump’s visit to Arlington was not about politics. It was about honoring the sacrifices of the brave men and women who gave their lives for this country. And the fact that Kamala Harris would attempt to politicize this sacred act shows just how out of touch she truly is.
This isn’t just about a disagreement between politicians. It’s about a fundamental difference in character. Trump showed up because he was asked, and because he cares. Harris stayed away, and then had the audacity to criticize Trump for doing what she wouldn’t.
In the end, this whole situation reveals far more about Harris than it does about Trump. It shows a vice president who is more concerned with scoring political points than with honoring the fallen. It shows a politician who would rather tear down someone else’s act of kindness than lift up the families who are still grieving. It shows a leader who, quite frankly, doesn’t deserve the title.
Final Thoughts
It’s time to call out this disgusting behavior for what it is: a desperate attempt by Kamala Harris to distract from her own failures by attacking someone who was simply doing the right thing. The Gold Star families deserved better from their vice president, and they deserve to have their voices heard. They invited Trump to Arlington, and he delivered the respect and care that they were looking for.
As for Harris? She should be ashamed of herself. She should hang her head in shame at her actions or lack thereof. But, of course, that would require a level of humility and decency that she clearly doesn’t possess.
