Former President Donald Trump expressed gratitude towards Gold Star families who recorded videos supporting him following his controversial appearance at Arlington National Cemetery. Trump took to social media to thank these families for their unity and appreciation for his attendance at the Celebration of their fallen family members.
In the videos posted on Truth Social and X, families of US service members killed in the Kabul airport bombing criticized Vice President Kamala Harris while praising Trump. This comes amidst a situation where the Trump campaign faced backlash over a dispute with a cemetery official regarding political activities on the sacred grounds.
Trump's post on Sunday also included further criticism of Vice President Harris, who had previously condemned Trump's actions. Trump accused Harris of lacking empathy and failing to engage with the families affected by the tragedy.
These recent events have reignited tensions between Trump and Harris, showcasing the ongoing political divide in the country. The use of Gold Star families in this context has sparked debate over the appropriateness of involving them in political disputes.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how both sides will navigate the aftermath of these events and whether there will be any attempts at reconciliation or further escalation.
