Vice President Kamala Harris condemned former President Donald Trump and his campaign for their actions on Monday at the Arlington National Cemetery in a new post on X.
Harris accused Trump of "disrespect[ing] sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt."
"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," she added.

Her statement comes after the U.S. Army said that a member of Trump's campaign staff "abruptly pushed aside" a staff member at the cemetery so that Trump and his campaign could take photos and videos with families of service members who passed away during the U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
