Trump Campaign Pushes Back at Harris With Gold Star Families’ Statement

The Trump campaign has recently pushed back against Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris with a statement from Gold Star families, following her criticism of President Trump’s handling of military matters.

Harris, during a recent campaign event, criticized President Trump for reportedly calling fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” The Democratic senator also questioned Trump’s commitment to the military and its families.

In response, the Trump campaign released a statement signed by 13 Gold Star families, who have lost loved ones in service to the country. The statement defended President Trump and his administration’s support for the military.

The statement read, “We are Gold Star families who have lost those we love the most in war. We have seen our families’ service and sacrifice for this country being tarnished in the media. We have seen our fallen heroes’ names being dragged through the mud for political gain. We have seen the painful sacrifices our families have made being used as pawns in a political game. We have seen our loved ones’ memories being exploited for political purposes. We are here to say that we are proud of the service and sacrifice our loved ones made for this country. We are proud of the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and his administration in supporting the military and its families. We are proud to stand with President Trump and his commitment to our nation’s heroes.”

The statement from the Gold Star families comes as a strong defense of President Trump’s record on the military, countering the claims made by Harris and other critics. It highlights the support and respect that the Trump administration has shown for the military community.

This pushback from the Trump campaign underscores the importance of military matters in the upcoming election. As both candidates seek to appeal to voters with their stances on national security and military issues, statements like these from Gold Star families carry significant weight.

In the final weeks leading up to the election, it is clear that the Trump campaign will continue to highlight its support for the military and its families. The statement from Gold Star families serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve in the armed forces and the importance of honoring their memories and service.
