‘Nothing Short Of Disgusting’: Gold Star Fathers Call Out Harris For ‘Gaslighting,’ Say They’ve Been ‘Ignored’ By WH

The fathers of two Gold Star service members killed in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal slammed Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden on Tuesday for “gaslighting” families and ignoring them for the last three years.

Harris faced backlash from Gold Star families over the weekend after criticizing former President Donald Trump for filming videos at the third anniversary event at Arlington Cemetery. On Fox Business’ “The Bottom Line,” Gold Star father Darin Hoover, whose son Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover was killed, called out Harris for taking away the “memories” of fallen service members, stating there’s “no need for it.”

“Well, first of all, let me be clear, that solemn event was a day that has been three years in the coming. And for her to take away, like you played in that montage — for her to take away those memories from 🇺🇸US, the only memories that we get to make with Taylor from here on out, and to disparage that is nothing short of disgusting. And all it was, was gaslighting all of 🇺🇸US that were there that day,” Hoover said.

“We were there, Sergeant Nicole Gee’s family was there Staff Sergeant Ryan Knauss’ mom and dad were on the phone,” Hoover continued. “I mean, we didn’t see or we didn’t hear we didn’t know about anything until that hit piece came out from NPR while I’m flying to plane to come home the next day. It’s despicable what she has done and there’s absolutely no need for it.”
