Harris calls Trump cemetery visit disrespectful, political stunt
US Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Republican presidential rival Donald Trump on Saturday, August 31, over a visit he made to soldiers' graves at Arlington National Cemetery that was later used in campaign video footage.
"It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation. It is not a place for politics," Harris wrote in an X post.
The vice president weighed in five days after Trump took part in a wreath-laying ceremony on Monday, August 26, honoring the 13 servicemembers killed during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

00:00And while I was there, those families that asked me to be there, they said,
00:29three families plus one soldier who was horrifically injured, both legs and an

00:40they said, could you take pictures over the grave of my son, my sister, my brother?

01:23thing I get is plenty of publicity, I don't need that.
