Unfortunately, due to a manipulative mainstream media that protects them, they no longer feel the need to disguise their feelings. A clear example of this can be seen in how former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris commemorated the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate terrorist attack in Kabul, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. <\/p>\n<p>As expected, Trump attended a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery where he honored the fallen by participating in a wreath-laying event. A brief video shared on X showcased one moment from this ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>In stark contrast, neither Harris nor President Joe Biden chose to attend any memorial event. One user on X described Harris&#8217;s absence as &#8220;utterly disqualifying.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Instead of showing up in person, Harris released a generic statement filled with clich\u00e9d expressions of sorrow while also praising herself and Biden: \u201cAs I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America\u2019s longest war&#8230; I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan remains one of the most disastrous moments in recent U.S. history for which both she and Biden are accountable; just recently, Afghanistan&#8217;s Taliban celebrated their return to power with a parade featuring military equipment left behind by their administration.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has acknowledged her role during that critical decision-making process; she was reportedly &#8220;the last person in the room&#8221; with Biden when he decided on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>On social media platforms like X, users reminded her about her previous admission regarding accountability for that tragedy while criticizing her absence at memorial services attended by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump reiterated his criticism online as well: \u201cThis is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal&#8230; 13 DEAD American soldiers&#8230; THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA REMAINS SILENT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this anniversary serves as a reminder that establishment politicians like Harris show little regard for ordinary Americans or service members&#8217; sacrifices\u2014and thanks to their media allies, they no longer feel compelled to pretend otherwise.
