Harris had taken aim at Trump, accusing him of exploiting a solemn occasion for political gain. She suggested that Trump’s presence at the cemetery was more about generating attention than genuine concern for the grieving families.

“He was invited by the Gold Star families. He didn’t just show up to make a scene,” DeSantis stated firmly, responding to Harris’s remarks. “They asked him.”


DeSantis, who has consistently aligned himself with Trump on many issues, emphasized the significance of respecting the wishes of the families who have lost loved ones in military service. He noted that the invitation extended to Trump came directly from the Gold Star families themselves, a point he argued was crucial in understanding the former president’s intentions.

“Here’s the thing,” DeSantis continued, “if people like Harris and the media are going to express more outrage at that, than the people who made them Gold Star families in the first place? Something is wrong. That is unacceptable.”

Biden and Harr>s declined an invitation as they continue to ignore the 13 families for a 3rd year, they have more sympathy for the family of thugs like George Floyd than they do for Gold Star families of those who died in their watch. She has never met with the families has never mentioned the names of the dead, he has only once met the families, when the bodies were brought back, it was just going through the motions and was busy checking his watch to see how much longer he had to be there. The disrespect is all coming from the Democrats.
