By a large margin of 59 to 30 percent, the majority of voters Acknowledge Former President Donald Trump recently visited Arlington National Cemetery at the invitation of 13 families of Gold Star recipients.
As a reminder, last month, at the request of the families of 13 U.S. soldiers killed in a 2021 terrorist attack during the Biden-Harris administration's failed attempt to withdraw from Afghanistan, President Trump joined them at a commemorative ceremony to pay tribute.
To no one's surprise, Democrats and the mainstream media were infuriated and quickly joined forces to smear Trump as a political opportunist who was spitballing at America's veterans by politicizing Arlington, especially because a photo op was taking place during the ceremony.
CNNLOL's chief gerbil, Jake Tapper, in his mock indignation, pathetically performed Little McCain.

From what I heard from Gold Star families, the cameras were there at their request, and for good reason: in order to protect Biden and Kamala Harris, the corporate media and the White House refused to even acknowledge the 13 brave warriors who lost their lives needlessly due to the astonishing incompetence of the Biden-Harris Administration. These families want their loved ones to be remembered, and what better way to do that than to hold a memorial with a former president and capture the moment on film forever?
Well, this is the usual we expect from the Democrats and their increasingly incompetent media allies. This story was so “same old thing” that I didn't even bother to follow or comment. The water is wet. The grass is greener. The Gerbil Media says Trump is wrong all the time.
But then things got interesting…
Instead of letting her political and media surrogates fight this battle on her behalf, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, after her disastrous joint interview on CNNLOL with her running mate, Governor Tim “Stolen Valor” Waltz, foolishly decided to weigh in on this non-controversy. Apparently, she hoped she could hype the story in a way that would distract from the disastrous interview on her upcoming Sunday show.

“Donald Trump's team chose to film a video there, which led to an altercation with cemetery officials,” she said. xweeted In part: “Let me be clear: the former president desecrated sacred ground for political stunts.”
But we are now Barry Obama, Joe Bidenand what's more! John “Sacred” McCain Taken in Arlington.
The silliest part of Kamala's xweet was at the end…
“I will always respect the service and sacrifice of America's fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved country and cherished freedoms,” she wrote. “I will mourn and honor them, and I will never politicize them.”
In other words, she is accusing the Gold Star 13 families of using their lost loved ones as a political ploy or of being lied to by Trump. Most of all, Kamala is accusing them of lying about inviting Trump to the war memorial.
We've seen presidential candidates do stupid things before… hmmm…
The backlash from Gold Star families was everything that defines “justice”: immediate, intense, real and raw.

Along with the anti-Semitism that forced her to choose Minnesota Governor Waltz (a state that already had her back) as her running mate rather than Jewish Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (a state that could decide the election), the vilification of these Gold Star families may go down as one of the fatal blows to her campaign. Look at these numbers.
Only 30 percent Rejected Regarding President Trump's visit to Arlington, black voters support the visit by a 16-point margin, 48% to 32%. Hispanics support the visit by a 50-point margin (that's not a typo), 70% to 20%. A majority of Democrats (48%) also disapprove of the visit, while 35% do.
Rasmussen asked whether Harris was “taking responsibility.” [for the] When asked, “The disastrous mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal resulted in the deaths of 13 soldiers,” a majority, 54 percent, answered “yes,” while only 26 percent answered “no.”
If the Democrats and their media allies, and Kamala herself, had left it alone, the story of Trump's visit would have been forgotten long ago. No one would have polled about it.
Here's what I think happened: after the convention and the CNN interview, the Kamala campaign realized they were stalling in the polls and that this attack on Gold Star families was a stunning political blunder born out of desperation.
Kamala's campaign is one of the worst I've ever seen.
