'Heinous, Vile, Disgusting': Gold Star Families Slam Kamala Harris After Attack On Trump Backfires Horribly

Gold Star families whose loved ones died in the Biden-Harris administration's botched Afghanistan withdrawal have slammed Vice President Kamala Harris over her attack on former President Trump for paying his respects at Arlington National Cemetary last week.

Harris slammed Trump's visit as 'playing politics,' however in a series of short videos, eight Gold Star families said they had invited Trump - each of them recording videos which were released in the wake of a statement published by Harris on Saturday, in which she criticized Trump for taking photographs at a wreath-laying ceremony on Monday.

"As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times," said Harris. "It is not a place for politics. And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff."

Not so fast, Kamala...

In one video response, the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz called Harris' post "heinous, vile and disgusting."

"Why did we want Trump there? It wasn't to help his political campaign," said Mark Schmitz. "We wanted a leader. That explains why you and Joe didn't get a call."

Darren Hoover, father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, said Harris lacks "empathy and understanding" about Monday's ceremony. 

"In keeping with the reverence and respect that is given to all members of our military that are buried there, we invited President Trump," he said. "We are the ones that asked for the video and the pictures to be taken at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier."

Hoover added that Trump has "been there for us from the very beginning," and slammed Harris for "playing politics."

"You should be ashamed and embarrassed [about] your lack of empathy and decency as a human being," said Hoover. "You are only in this for the power and prestige. You don't care for our military or the citizens of this country."

Needless to say, the blowback is intensifying:
