Ron DeSantis is speaking out about Kamala Harris and criticism of Donald Trump‘s actions at Arlington National Cemetery last week.
“I don’t see the outrage. If people like Harris and the media are going to express more outrage at that than the people that made them gold star families in the first place, something is wrong,” the Governor said Tuesday at Daytona State College.
Trump was accused by the U.S. Army of conducting “political activities” in the space, which is banned. The Associated Press notes the former President filmed a TikTok video lambasting the current administration for how it handled exiting the two-decade undeclared U.S. war in Afghanistan.
“If there is one thing on which we as Americans can all agree, it is that our veterans, military families, and service members should be honored, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude,” Harris posted to social media Saturday, adding that “someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America.”
DeSantis said Trump “was invited by the Gold Star families.”
“He didn’t just show up to make a scene. They invited him to be there. They asked him to pose for photos with the family members of the fallen.”
The families offered a statement defending Trump, released on Sunday by Trump’s campaign. It corroborates DeSantis’ interpretation of events.
“We, the families of the brave service members who were tragically killed in the Abbey Gate bombing, are appalled by Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent attempts to politicize President Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery. President Trump was invited by us, the Gold Star families, to attend the solemn ceremonies commemorating the three-year anniversary of our children’s deaths. He was there to honor their sacrifice, yet Vice President Harris has disgracefully twisted this sacred moment into a political ploy.”

The problem isn’t inviting people to Arlington National Cemetery. It’s those people breaking those rules that are in place for everyone’s families. You don’t have to like the rules but you do need to follow them.

Dee deferred a question on TV to a FL state employee about the Medicaid “unwinding” in Florida, second only to Texas. An estimated 70 percent being purged in Florida due to bureaucratic hurdles and failures — many of these are technically eligible.

One dirtbag MAGA family “invited” Fat Hitler to come spit on the graves at Arlington, not any of the other 400,000+ of the veterans interned there. DeSantis and MAGA hate wounded and KIA American soldiers.

Something a mentally ill Leftist would say. Only Democrats says such vile things about others.

I’m going to agree with Manuel, calling Trump ‘Fat Hitler’ is pretty vile, you’ve got to call him ‘America’s Hitler’ like Vance did instead.

Did Trump call the “Unknown Soldier” a loser and a sucker at this event.
The only loser and suckers that I see is our governor, DeSantis and Trump.

Yup. This site has been taken over by the homeless, druggies, college professors, adults still living with mom and dad and Tennessee slum lords. People of the Demo Party.

The old trope of “blame it on the Dems” routine. Not original. But seriously, if your best argument is tossing around tired stereotypes, maybe it’s time to step up your game. Newsflash: homelessness and slumlords aren’t partisan issues, and not everyone with a degree is the enemy. If simplifying everything into neat little boxes helps you sleep at night, more power to you but don’t drag the rest of us with you. Stay home on voting day. Meanwhile, the rest of us will keep dealing with reality.

Fogleg, if you’re reading these comments on a cell phone it’s hard to line up them up sometimes. You I can forgive for a simple mistake, Trump for deliberately desecrating holy ground I cannot.

No that would be in Normandy as Trump’s former chief of staff has stated. I’m sure he’s secretly a Mags hating Demoncrat too though.

Harris got accused of politicizing trumps visit to Arlington? Can you believe it? Why was he even there if HE wasn’t politicizing the visit? This is the same guy who humiliated the Khan family (Gold Star) during the 16′ campaign. The “thumbs up” pose in the widely circulated photo with trump should make everyone pause. Come on, aren’t you sick of the trump clown show yet? The guy is running to stay out of jail. My failure to capitalize trump’s name is not a “Derangement Syndrome”, it is just my acknowledgement of a small man trying to be a big man. He has a heart full of hate, like Hitler. Hitler had the Jews, trump has the border, same blame game different decade. Remember Milton Friedman, the famous economist, look up what this Nobel Prize economist who worked for Reagan said about immigrants. You might be in for a shock.

Also look up what he did for the murderous dictator of Chile.

Trump doesnt like dogs, and dogs hate Trump. Dogs are pretty good judges of character, too bad Magas arent.
My Take
September 3, 2024 at 2:45 pm
The Trump sideshow’s excuses are directed to the MAGA morons.
Others will know that inviting someone TO a place or event is not inclusive of inviting them to behave like scum.

That single picture of trump standing over the graves of two fallen soldiers with that stupid grin on his face giving two thumbs up is sickening. If rhonda supports that, as someone who served, he should be ashamed of himself. It’s a cheap political stunt which pretty much sums up trump’s whole campaign.

You above Dook 4 Brains Leftys comments are disgusteting.
Trump was there at the request of the families who’s Service Men and Women were murdered by the incompitance and grose malfeasance of Kamalla Harris and Joe Biden.
You above commenters should be ashamed.

Good Morn ‘Ting Dook 4 Brains Leftys,
You have gone too far with your TDS (Trump Derangement Symdrom).
I am looking into the legalaty of reinstating my “Painfull CHASTIZEMENT” disiplinary process on you Dooks after I promised to ban my strict disipline until after the election.
I’m floating that out now in the Sage hopes you will all straighten up and be more civil in your postings.

Hey, they ASKED him to make an illegal campaign video over their dead son’s grave, and we all know DonOLD is just such a people pleaser!
Also never forget the Trump administration is responsible for those deaths in Afghanistan: they negotiated the withdrawal, including releasing 5000 Taliban prisoners in the process, and set it up for failure by refusing to work with Biden on the presidential transition.

So Ron DeSantis, a so called “Veteran”, is ok with a guy taking a smiling thumbs up photo-op at grave at Arlington National Cemetery?
I’ve known DeSantis was a disgrace for years now, but maybe this will open more eyes.

As Ronald Reagan once said, “there they go again”
Nefarious, anonymous “they” are the root of all evil according to G0P MAGAs like Rhonda when denying responsibility for MAGA policies and MAGA actions
“THEY” invited us to break the law. Wahhhhhhhh wahhhh wahhhh. We are but hapless victims to “THEM” but “THEY” are senile and inept and crooked and worst of all, “THEY” laugh and have fun sometimes!
