Vance didn’t mince words…
During a campaign event in Pennsylvania this week, vice presidential candidate JD Vance blasted Kamala Harris and her campaign for criticizing Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetary to honor the service members who died during the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021.
A minor incident between cemetery staff and the Trump campaign was blown out of proportion by the mainstream media; a Harris spox called the incident “pretty sad” and “not surprising.”
Trump was invited to the event by Gold Star families.
“The other thing that our veterans care more about is that three years ago, 13 brave, innocent Americans died. And they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job and there hasn’t been a single investigation or a single firing,” Vance said.
“Kamala Harris is disgraceful. We want to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives? It’s that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won’t even do an investigation into what happened. And she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up?”
She “can go to hell,” he added.

One Gold Star family member who was at the cemetery with Trump backed up the campaign’s version of events, and claimed the cemetery staff was “lying.”
“We are the ones that invited Trump. He didn’t invite himself,” Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, told The Post in a phone interview Wednesday.
“We invited him because we knew that he had our backs, he supports us. He cares about us.
“While I was there, I didn’t witness any, any physical altercation or anything like that. And quite frankly, the Arlington staff is lying. I mean, it’s just, it’s a flat-out lie,” Hoover fired back.
