'She can go to hell': Vance blasts Kamala Harris over Afghanistan withdrawal in harshest rhetoric yet
The Republican vice presidential nominee's remark was in response to a question about an “incident” that occurred when Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery this week.
Sen. JD Vance of Ohio condemned Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday over the Biden administration's handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying the Democratic presidential nominee "can go to hell."
Vance's comment at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, was his harshest language yet toward Harris on the campaign trail. It came in response to a reporter’s question about an "incident" Monday when former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery with family members of service members who were killed during the 2021 attack at Abbey Gate at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, in the final days of the withdrawal.
“Three years ago, 13 brave, innocent Americans died, and they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job, and there hasn’t been a single investigation or a single firing,” Vance said. “Sometimes mistakes happen — that’s just the nature of government, the nature of military service. But to have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. Kamala Harris is disgraceful.”
Vance said that if they’re going to discuss a story related to Abbey Gate, “it’s that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won’t even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up. She can, she can go to hell.”
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Vance's remarks. The Harris campaign declined to comment.
