[WATCH] J.D. Vance Says Kamala Harris Can “Go To H***”
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Kamala Harris can “go to h***” in response to a reporter’s question about allegations of an incident between Trump campaign staffers and Arlington National Cemetery workers.
Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony to mark the third anniversary of the U.S. troops who tragically died in the Afghanistan withdrawal.

“To have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. Kamala Harris is disgraceful,” Vance said at an event in Erie, Pennsylvania.
“If we’re going to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives, 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,” Vance continued.
“She can go to h***,” he added.

Per NBC News:
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Vance’s remarks. The Harris campaign declined to comment his comments.
In a statement Monday, Harris marked the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate by saying her “heart breaks” for the pain and loss experienced by the victims’ families.
“I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families and I will always honor their service and sacrifice,” she said, adding, “President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.”
The U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021, roughly 20 years after its invasion of the country under then President George W. Bush.
The Biden administration and Congress have conducted multiple investigations into the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the attack that occurred at Abbey Gate as service members were helping people evacuate from the country.
In a 2023 report, the White House, for example, largely blamed the Trump administration for the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan.
After the wreath-laying ceremony, Trump traveled to Detroit to address the National Guard Association of the United States conference.
“Caused by Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world,” Trump said, according to the Associated Press.

From the Associated Press:
In his speech to the National Guard in Detroit, Trump said that leaving Afghanistan was the right thing to do but that the execution was poor. “We were going to do it with dignity and strength,” he said. He called the attack “the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.”
Since Biden ended his reelection bid, Trump has been zeroing in on Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, and her roles in foreign policy decisions. He has specifically highlighted the vice president’s statements that she was the last person in the room before Biden made the decision on Afghanistan.
“The voters are going to fire Kamala and Joe on Nov. 5, we hope, and when I take office we will ask for the resignations of every single official,” Trump said in Detroit. “We’ll get the resignations of every single senior official who touched the Afghanistan calamity, to be on my desk at noon on Inauguration Day. You know, you have to fire people. You have to fire people when they do a bad job.”
In her own statement marking the anniversary of the Kabul airport attack, Harris said she mourns the 13 U.S. service members who were killed. “My prayers are with their families and loved ones. My heart breaks for their pain and their loss,” she said.
