Republican presidential candidate and Marine Corps veteran Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio on Wednesday had harsh words for Vice President Kamala Harris over President Joe Biden and his administration's failure to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
“It's disgraceful that 13 Americans have lost their lives and not a single person has been fired. Kamala Harris was asleep at the wheel, didn't even investigate what happened, and just wants to yell at Donald Trump when he shows up,” he said.
“She should go to hell!”

His comments came after Harris' campaign criticized former President Donald Trump for visiting the families of Gold Star recipients who lost loved ones during a hastily scheduled withdrawal after US troops were targeted by a suicide bomber.
After major media outlets reported that President Trump met with bereaved families at Arlington Cemetery and that there was an altercation between cemetery officials and Trump campaign staff over photo and videography at the ceremony, Harris' campaign called it “deeply disappointing” and criticized the former president.
