Five days ago, we reminded you that Kamala Harris proudly said she was the 'last person in the room' when the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. She was 'comfortable' with that decision. Those were her words.
Watch:
Kamala Harris was the last person in the room during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

She said she was “comfortable” with her decision that led to 13 Americans dying 3 years ago.

On the third anniversary, and to honor the lives of their fallen loved ones, Gold Star families invited Donald Trump to Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath laying and memorial service.
The families -- wanting to remember this -- asked Trump's staff to bring a camera.
While Donald Trump was paying his respects to our fallen service members, Kamala Harris was hiding from the press. Joe Biden -- should I even bother calling him 'president' anymore? -- was lying on a beach in Delaware, taking a much needed vacation from his recent vacation in California.

There was nothing stopping Biden or Harris from reaching out to the Gold Star families. Not this week, and not for the last three years.
But reach out they have not.
Because the blood of the thirteen men and women killed at Abbey Gate is on their hands. Kamala knows this.
Earlier today, I told you about her despicable attack on Donald Trump, and her absolute chutzpah in saying she respects our military men and women.
She does not.
All Gold Star parents that Kamala Harris has ignored until now… She seen an opportunity to stir political controversy with Trump.

Here’s what they had to say:
“She’s never reached out to us”
- Steve Nikoui.
“Are you in my shoes? I invited him. My son was m*rdered under the… pic.twitter.com/3eMaJHCJWs
You might recognize the name Steve Nikoui. His son, LCpl. Kareem Nikoui, was killed at Abbey Gate and the most interaction he's gotten from the Biden administration is being arrested for interrupting the State of the Union back in January.
Not once has Kamala Harris picked up a phone and called Mr. Nikoui, or Kelly Hoover (she, like Nikoui, lost a son at Abbey Gate).
I have a 17 year old who has considered joining the military to pay for college (conversations are ongoing). If you don't think I haven't worried about joining the honorable, heartbreaking Gold Star family since he mentioned it, you'd be wrong. The thought has crossed my mind many, many times. Even writing about it makes my heart hurt.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that -- as President -- Kamala Harris would send my son (and yours) off to war. A war she'd run as incompetently as she ran the withdrawal from Afghanistan. She wouldn't bat an eye and she wouldn't lose a wink of sleep.
Because of that incompetence and callousness, Kamala Harris is the reason thirteen servicemen and women are buried at Arlington in the first place. And in the three years since their flag-draped caskets were returned home, Kamala Harris has not once reached out to the families.
She has not offered condolences. Not listened to their stories.
Until today, when she has the audacity to turn them into political pawns because Donald Trump accepted their invitation to Arlington. By doing so, he threw into sharp relief just how careless and cold-hearted Kamala really is, and he humiliated her.
For that, she is livid.
What else can she do but lash out at Trump? Accuse him of desecrating hallowed ground -- ground she couldn't be bothered to set foot on -- and, by extension, accuse the families of the service members she got killed of being disrespectful.
Because that's what she's doing. She's not attacking Trump. She's attacking the people who invited him there: the Gold Star families who wouldn't need to be at Arlington (with or without Trump) if Kamala Harris wasn't a failed Vice President and wholly unfit to sit in the Oval Office.
Rather than posting her screed on X, Kamala could've called the families. Offered to meet with them.
She won't, because she's to blame for the deaths at Abbey Gate. She admitted as much.
Thankfully, the families are not taking this sitting down. Eight of them have responded, and Team Trump is using their videos to shame Kamala.
It takes a special level of sociopathy for Kamala Harris to get on her high horse and wag her finger about respecting Arlington National Cemetery when the people she’s lecturing were there because *she* got people killed.

The moral vapidity of DC perfectly illustrated.
It's vapidity and hubris and downright disgusting.
But it's all Kamala's got because it's who she is: vapid and disgusting.
