Trump Campaign Issues Statement As Arlington Cemetery Controversy Deepens

Donald Trump's campaign released a statement on Sunday from Gold Star military families who invited him to Arlington National Cemetery. They defended the Republican presidential nominee and claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris is the one politicizing fallen U.S. service members.

On Saturday, Harris accused Trump of staging a "political stunt" that "disrespected sacred ground" where many Afghanistan war dead are buried. Trump and some families of those killed in the bombing, who previously blamed President Joe Biden before he ended his reelection bid, now hold Harris responsible for their loved ones' deaths. The families argue that Trump was honoring their loved ones during his visit to Arlington, reported The Associated Press.
