The Democrats tried to scandalize President Trump’s visit to the Arlington Cemetery on August 26, where he joined the bereaved families of the soldiers that were killed by suicide bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2021, during the botched withdrawal under the Biden-Harris administration’s watch. However, the smear effort failed and has backfired as the Gold Star families spoke up in President Trump’s defense.
The anti-Trump media ran a coordinated smear campaign against President Trump by trying to scandalize the pictures and video of Trump paying his respects and commemorating the fallen soldiers at the military cemetery on the third anniversary of the disastrous exit from Afghanistan under the Biden-Harris administration. The smear campaign also included a statement from the military, much of whose top leadership has been liberalized under the Biden presidency and turned against President Trump. The media and the army’s statement claimed that President Trump tried to turn his visit into a political campaign stunt by taking photos and filming a video.
The anti-Trump media stories provided Kamala Harris with the opportunity to take a jab at his political opponent as she stated:
“Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt.”
But before long, the Democrats and their media partners received an embarrassing setback when the Gold Star families, who had invited Trump to the commemoration event, stepped forward and defended the 45th President while reproving Kamala Harris. On Real America’s Voice, members of the Gold Star families ripped Harris for lack of character and told that she never called them in the wake of their traumatic loss in August 2021.

Following the statements of the Gold Star families, Rita Panahi of Sky News opined that Kamala Harris tried to damage the Trump campaign by labeling his Arlington Cemetery visit a political stunt but failed. She said:
“This denouncement has spectacularly backfired on her and her campaign. Just look at how many Gold Star Family members reached out to Trump’s campaign team to defend him?”
Fox News talk show The Five featured the comments of the Gold Star families and talked about Kamala Harris campaign likely behind all the drama that, as Jesse Watters put it, blew up in their faces.

Conservatives on social media didn’t hold back from reminding Democrats of their hypocrisy over taking pictures at the military cemetery. A video clip of Megyn Kelly’s commentary was shared on X (Twitter) showing Biden’s photo op at the Arlington Cemetery when he was the VP that was used by the Biden campaign during his 2020 presidential run with Kamala Harris as his running mate. In fact, he did so more than once at various sections of the cemetery.
Veteran journalist Mark Jacob posted a screenshot of a Washington Post story that tried to blame Trump for snapping back at Kamala Harris after the Gold Star families. Jacob commented: “American journalism is failing American democracy.”
Despite the attempted scandal effectively dismantled by the Gold Star families’ statements, leftist media has turned a deaf ear to them and instead has continued to try slamming Trump in opinion pieces that sound like directly optioned by the Harris campaign. Leftist website Yahoo News featured a letter from an anti-Trumper, Danyell Lanier, who is credited as a Navy veteran, repeat the lie that Trump disrespected the military with his Arlington visit.
The first presidential debate between Trump and Harris is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, at 9 p.m. (Eastern). Trump already dismantled Joe Biden in the first presidential debate back in June after which the Democrats forced Biden out of the race and replaced him with Harris. Since then Harris has avoided interviews with any media except a recent CNN appearance along with her running mate Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota. Liberal media praised her interview performance while conservatives ruled it a disaster. It was learnt that CNN edited out most of the footage of the interview and conservatives demanded the full video footage to be released to see how Harris and Walz really did in the studio.
