Harris, Trump, and Arlington cemetery

It looks like the fight between the Harris and Trump campaigns over former President Donald Trump‘s appearance at Arlington National Cemetery is intensifying, not diminishing. Vice President Kamala Harris herself posted a statement on X using Trump’s visit to mark the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack as an opportunity to revive the “suckers and losers” slur against Trump. Trump, in turn, produced statements of support from several Gold Star families who lost loved ones in the Biden-Harris administration’s chaotic, violent, and thoroughly bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan — the people whose sacrifice Trump had come to Arlington to respect.
