Power-hungry elites within the Democratic Party hold contempt for ordinary Americans, including those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. With a complicit establishment media running interference, they no longer feel the need to pretend otherwise.
For evidence, look at the stark contrast between how former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris commemorated the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, which claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members.
As expected, Trump appeared in person at Arlington National Cemetery, not only paying his respects but also participating in a wreath-laying ceremony. A brief clip posted on the social media platform X captured a moment from the event.
In stark contrast, neither Harris nor President Joe Biden made an appearance. One X user called Harris’s absence “utterly disqualifying.”
Instead, Harris issued a standard statement filled with typical expressions of mourning, while also praising herself and Biden. “As I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war. Over the past three years, our Administration has demonstrated we can still eliminate terrorists, including the leaders of al-Qaeda and ISIS, without troops deployed into combat zones. I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland,” Harris stated.
The Biden-Harris administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal remains one of the most catastrophic and humiliating episodes in recent U.S. history. Earlier this month, for example, Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban celebrated the third anniversary of its return to power with a parade featuring U.S. military equipment left behind by the Biden-Harris administration.
By her own admission, Harris cannot evade responsibility for that disaster. In an interview with CNN, she acknowledged that she was the last person in the room with Biden when he made the decision about the Afghanistan withdrawal.
On X, social media users responded to Harris’s statement by reminding her of this admission of culpability.
“Unfortunately, your post exists in the context of you and Joe being responsible for this tragedy. Trump is at their memorial service right now, by the way. Where are you, Miss VP?” YouTuber Blaire White wrote.
On social media, Trump reiterated his frequent criticism. “This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country,” Trump wrote. He also lamented the cost of what he called “Gross Incompetence,” citing “13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND.”
Of course, thanks to the corrupt establishment media, many Americans won’t even hear about the anniversary.
“THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA REMAINS SILENT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!” Trump wrote.
In conclusion, the anniversary of the botched Afghanistan withdrawal serves as a reminder of two things. First, establishment politicians like Harris clearly do not care for ordinary Americans, including service members. Second, thanks to their allies in the media, they no longer have to pretend otherwise.
Above all, Harris’s absence from the wreath-laying ceremony underscores her confidence that the media will continue to shield her from criticism.
