4:40Now PlayingAs the Trump campaign continues to suffer massive public backlash from the incident at Arlington National Cemetery this past Monday, J.D. Vance has decided to make the situation so much worse. Rather than trying to calm the anger, he instead told a crowd this week that Kamala Harris can “go to hell” with her criticisms of the campaign and what happened at Arlington. That’s not the response the public wanted to hear, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump's campaign is still reeling from the horrific event that took place at Arlington National Cemetery this past Monday when Donald Trump, of course, showed up for a photo op with his own photographer and videographer gave his big thumbs up, giant smile, standing over the grave of a fallen US soldier. And of course, the bigger issue is the alleged, uh, altercation that took place between Trump staffers and a cemetery staffer. So couple days after that happened, JD Vance was doing an event in Pennsylvania, you know, trying to win over those swing state voters. And true tofor, JD Vance went out there and actually made things so much worse for the Trump campaign. I mean, they're reeling from this. They're getting attacked from all sides for this horrific event that they orchestrated may have broken the law by doing a campaign thing in a, a national military cemetery.
And instead of trying to smooth things over, Vance came out and attacked Kamala Harris for criticizing them, telling her to go to hell. Here is the full statement from JD Vance that he told reporters in Erie, Pennsylvania just days after this event happened. The thing our veterans care a lot more about is that three years ago, 13 brave innocent Americans died. And they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job. Okay, well, first of all, no, Kamala Harris was in fact, not the commander in chief. It is a tragedy that 13 United States service members died in that attack. That is a horrific event. Sure, no doubt about it. Those families will never be whole again. But you don't care about the people who died. And, and I'm gonna keep reading a statement in a, in a segment, but in a second, sorry, but I, I wanna finish this because Vance doesn't actually care about the people who died.
Trump doesn't actually care about the people who died. They're using this as a political stunt to try to hurt the Harris campaign. Harris, by the way, again, not the commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. So it wasn't even her decision not to mention the fact that 64 service members died in Afghanistan while Donald Trump was president. So if you wanna compare apples to apples here, jd, how about we talk about the people who died while your guy was the commander in chief? Huh? Where's your sympathy for those families? Why aren't you showing up and doing photo ops with them? Why are you ignoring the fact that people died under Trump's watch? Oh, because it's not politically convenient for you to acknowledge those people. But anyway, Vance continues, and as I said, it gets worse. There hasn't been a single investigation or a single
Firing. I, I don't know, I don't look, sometimes mistakes happen. That's just the nature of government, the nature of military service. But to have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire
A single person
Is disgraceful. Kamala Harris is disgraceful. We're going to talk about a story. Uh, out out of those 13 brave innocent Americans who lost their lives, it's that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened. And she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up. She can, she can go
To hell. He said, Nope. Wrong answer, bud. You had the opportunity to try to make things right for a horrible thing your campaign did earlier in the week. And instead you got more political politicizing the deaths of these service members and telling the vice president of the United States herself to go to hell. You are, without a doubt, the worst running mate we have ever seen from a political candidate in my lifetime. And you are going to be the one, believe it or not, that sinks this campaign.
