She acknowledged Trump&#8217;s tribute to fallen troops at Arlington National Cemetery, but her assertion was met with correction from fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who highlighted that Trump had previously honored Gold Star families during his presidency. Goldberg countered that the last significant mention of Gold Star families by Trump had negative connotations.
