Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump’s controversial photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery with Gold Star families on Monday, claiming he “disrespected sacred ground.”
Even though he was invited by Gold Star families, Democratic presidential nominee accused Trump of staging a “political stunt” after his campaign staff got into an altercation with a cemetery employee who tried to stop them from filming and photographing a wreath-laying ceremony in Section 60 — the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“It is not a place for politics,” Harris said in lengthy a statement posted on social media Saturday afternoon.
“Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt,” she continued.
“This is nothing new from Donald Trump. This is a man who has called our fallen service members “suckers” and ‘losers’ and disparaged Medal of Honor recipients,” Harris claimed.
