Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) slammed left-wing CNN host Dana Bash during an interview on Sunday for promoting a political attack from Democrats against former President Donald Trump that centers around Trump visiting Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate the lives of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed during the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan.
Gabbard’s remarks come after Harris attacked Trump for visiting the fallen soldiers — something that she has never done, nor has she ever talked to their families — and later faced significant backlash from the Gold Star families for her politicization and false attacks.
Bash repeatedly harped on the issue of whether Trump was allowed to film at one of the locations inside the cemetery, even though the Trump campaign received authorization prior to attending, the families asked him to do it, and President Joe Biden previously did the same thing.
“I have seen a lot of the headlines and the stories and the concerns that people are raising about this,” Gabbard said. “But, to me, as a soldier and as someone who has been deployed to different war zones in the world — and I have friends who are buried there at Section 60 — what is more outrageous to me is that there wasn’t universal coverage of the momentous day of the third anniversary of the loss of these 13 Gold Star families and the outrage that they feel that they — that their loved ones are not getting the kind of coverage and memory that their great sacrifice deserves.”
“That is what everyone should be outraged about,” she added.
Gabbard attended the event and said that Trump and his team participated in a “very grave and somber remembrance and honoring of those lives that were lost.”
