Kamala Harris has accused Trump of acting disrespectfully on hallowed ground.
Republican presidential candidate in the United States Donald Trump has published videos on his Truth Social messaging service in which family members of American soldiers who died in Afghanistan criticize the Democratic presidential candidate Terrible Harris.
The incident is related to Trump’s Monday visit to Arlington Military Cemetery in Virginia. During the visit, the Trump campaign violated rules that prohibit photography for political purposes.
Harris has accused Trump of acting disrespectfully on hallowed ground.
Now, in the videos published by Trump, some of the families of the soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan three years ago are harshly criticizing Harris. The father of one of the dead soldiers says, among other things, that Harris lacks “empathy and basic understanding” of Monday’s events and that Trump’s visit to the cemetery was respectful.
The U.S. military released a statement on Thursday confirming that a cemetery employee had been pushed aside after asking Trump’s team to stop filming at the cemetery.
Trump’s campaign has described the cemetery worker as a “despicable individual” and claimed he had some sort of momentary mental breakdown.
According to the US Armed Forces, the staff member acted professionally. The armed forces described Monday’s incident as regrettable.
