Republican presidential nominee and Marine veteran Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) on Wednesday had some pointed words for Vice President Kamala Harris over the botched U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan under her and President Joe Biden’s administration.
“To have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won’t even do an investigation into what happened but wants to yell at Donald Trump for showing up.
“She can go to hell!”
His comment came after the Harris campaign criticized former President Donald Trump for visiting Gold Star families who lost loved ones during the withdrawal, after a suicide bomber targeted American troops who were ordered to conduct the hastily-planned withdrawal.
After Trump met with the families at the Arlington Cemetery and corporate media outlets reported there was an altercation between a cemetery employee and Trump campaign aides over taking photographs and filming at the ceremony, the Harris campaign called it “pretty sad” and criticized the former president.
