Kamala Harris Condemns Trump's Cemetery Visit Used in Campaign Ads

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump for using footage from Arlington National Cemetery in his campaign ads. She emphasized that the cemetery is a sacred ground and not a place for politics. The incident has sparked a heated exchange between Harris and Trump’s team.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Republican presidential rival Donald Trump on Saturday for using footage from Arlington National Cemetery in his campaign ads, calling it a disrespect to sacred ground.

Harris took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to condemn Trump for making a visit to the cemetery's hallowed Section 60 on Monday, which was later used in political ads. The section is meant to honor servicemembers who died in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.

Trump's actions have drawn criticism from veterans and their families, but the U.S. Army defended a cemetery employee involved in the incident. Harris highlighted Trump's history of disparaging veterans as evidence of his insensitivity and unworthiness for the presidency.
