Gabbard pointed\u2062 out that while Biden was on vacation in Delaware\u200b and Harris was campaigning, former \u200bPresident Donald\u2064 Trump\u200b took\u200c time to honor the victims at Arlington National Cemetery. She expressed deep personal feelings regarding \u2064the \u200cimpact\u200b of war and \u2063emphasized the need for leaders who prioritize diplomacy. Gabbard, \u2063who left\u200b the Democratic Party\u2062 in 2022 and has endorsed \u200bTrump, argued that his leadership recognizes \u2062war as a last resort, contrasting it \u200dwith Harris&#8217;s\u2062 approach. She also raised questions about whether Harris reached out to the families affected by the \u2064attack, labeling the deaths as &#8220;completely preventable&#8221; and \u200dwarning that the current administration&#8217;s policies\u200d have increased the risk \u2063of nuclear war. Gabbard concluded by framing \u200cthe \u2064political divide as \u2063a choice between freedom and peace under Trump&#8217;s leadership versus censorship and conflict under \u200bHarris&#8217;s administration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Tulsi Gabbard slams Biden&rsquo;s and Harris&rsquo;s lack of honoring Abbey Gate victims on anniversary<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1738477\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Hawaii Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tulsi-gabbard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Tulsi Gabbard<\/a> blasted President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>&rsquo;s and Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a>&rsquo;s absences on the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack, arguing former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> took the action they should have.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Biden is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3134758\/john-kirby-biden-engaged-global-conflicts-while-on-extended-vacation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on vacation<\/a> after spending almost a week in California, while Harris is campaigning for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leo-terrell-says-he-agrees-kamala-harris-was-chosen-due-to-her-gender-and-skin-color\/\" title=\"Leo Terrell Says He Agrees Kamala Harris Was Chosen \u2018Due To Her Gender And Skin Color\u2019\">president based<\/a> on &ldquo;joy and vibes,&rdquo; Gabbard noted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3134084\/trump-biden-abbey-gate-afghanistan-withdrawal-anniversary-arlington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Trump, meanwhile, visited Arlington National Cemetery<\/a> to honor the 13 service members who were killed by a suicide bomber during the United States&rsquo;s withdrawal from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Afghanistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is personal for me, Judge, and so many other Americans who know firsthand the cost of war,&rdquo; Gabbard said on Fox News&rsquo;s <em>The Ingraham Angle<\/em>, guest-hosted by Judge Jeanine Pirro. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve seen and experienced it firsthand.

The former Hawaii representative pointed out that while Biden is vacationing in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Harris is campaigning for president, Donald Trump took the time to visit Arlington National Cemetery to pay tribute to the 13 service members who lost their lives due to a suicide bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Gabbard expressed her personal connection to this issue on Fox News&#8217;s The Ingraham Angle, emphasizing the importance of having a commander-in-chief who values every life and prioritizes diplomacy over war. She endorsed Trump because she believes he understands that war should be a last resort, contrasting him with Harris, whom she accused of undermining freedoms and pushing towards conflict. Gabbard also questioned whether Harris had reached out to the families of those killed in Afghanistan or apologized for their handling of the withdrawal, labeling those deaths as &#8220;completely preventable.&#8221; She framed her argument as one about leadership rather than party affiliation, highlighting Trump&#8217;s commitment to freedom and peace against what she sees as Harris&#8217;s detrimental policies. Additionally, Trump referred to the Afghanistan withdrawal as &#8220;the most EMBARRASSING moment in our Country&#8217;s history&#8221; on Truth Social while honoring those service members.
