"The rush by these hack journalists to defend Harris has them now telling outright lies on national television. If Welker wants to play the live "fact-checking" game, she should get her facts straight first. NBC News owes the Gold Star families an apology and a correction." . . .

. . ."It didn't take long after the event for the truth to come out, which was that the Gold Star families involved invited Trump to come and asked to pose for pictures with him. Still, the press pushed forward with the story in an egregious fashion, including Maggie Haberman of The New York Times calling up the mother of one of the names seen on a gravestone to harass her for a response.
"Then, on Saturday morning, Kamala Harris jumped headfirst into the fray, releasing a scathing statement claiming she respected America's war dead but that Trump doesn't. That led to a massive backlash in which eight Gold Star families who were at the ceremony put out video statements slamming the former vice president and noting that she has never agreed to meet with any of them.
"You might think that would be the end of the story. After all, how do you keep pushing a false story that has even been rebuked by the very families involved who lost their loved ones due to Harris' incompetence? The press took that as a challenge, though, and when Welker faced off against Cotton on Sunday morning, she told an inexcusable lie as she desperately tried to defend the vice president." . . .
"What Welker did at the end of that exchange is just inexcusable, though. Cotton specifically said Harris has never spoken to or met with the Abbey Gate Gold Star families, and the anchor jumps in to insist "they" (as in both Biden and Harris) were at the dignified transfer. Kamala Harris was not there, and every attempt by the families to connect with her since has been rebuffed. Biden was there, but he infamously checked his watch multiple times." . . .
Kamala Harris Just Keeps Digging With Latest Jab at Gold Star Families
. . ."Instead of focusing on their memories, though, both the press and Harris have tried to make an issue of cameras being present, claiming that Trump disrespected "sacred ground." That talking point was technically put to rest on Saturday when eight of the Gold Star families released videos lambasting the vice president for politicizing the issue and stating that they asked for the event to be videoed and photographed so they would have a memory of the day.
"The smart move would have been to drop the issue, but on Monday, NBC News released a report citing a Harris aide claiming that the vice president wasn't invited to be there. That was meant to push back on Sen. Tom Cotton's claim on Sunday that both Harris and Joe Biden had the opportunity to show up."
"Harris has had the opportunity to do the right thing for years. She hasn't done so. She has no moral authority to criticize others over respecting America's war dead when she clearly doesn't do so herself." . . .
. . ."Now, Rep. Jamie Raskin, the radical Maryland Democrat who vows to keep Trump out of the White House when he wins the election, announced that he will launch a formal investigation into the matter:" . . .

. . ."One wonders if the Pentagon has the capacity to answer Raskin’s request honestly. I have my doubts, but Pentagon personnel would be wise to tread carefully in case Trump wins (which I believe he will because I think Kamala has now passed her “sell-by” date).
"The first rule of holes is to stop digging, but the Democrats can’t seem to quit this one. They took a small, non-political event and elevated it into a cause célèbre, even though it reflects poorly on the administration, the media, and the military. This is not a winning issue for them. They think they’ve painted Trump as a monster, but they’ve only succeeded in showing that they will stop at nothing, including using the honored dead to smear their political opponent." . . .
