<p>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) slammed NBC News&#8217; Kristen Welker during an interview on Sunday for promoting a false Democrat attack against former President Donald Trump — an attack that centers around his recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery to pay his respects to the 13 U.S. service members who were killed during the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021.</p>
<p>Cotton made the remarks after Welker parroted the claim that Trump used the event at ANC to &#8220;make campaign content at military gravesites.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He didn&#8217;t take campaign photos there,&#8221; Cotton said. &#8220;These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris&#8217; incompetence, invited him to the cemetery.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And they asked him to take those photos,&#8221; Cotton <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gold-star-families-blast-kamala-harris-for-heinous-vile-disgusting-post-attacking-trump">correctly noted</a>, &#8220;because, as they told me yesterday when I spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darin Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don&#8217;t get to go to the beach on Labor Day. They don&#8217;t get to have barbecues. This is their one chance to have a memory of their children to commemorate their service and to honor their sacrifice.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They wanted President Trump there. They wanted to take those photos,&#8221; he added. &#8220;You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away, ten minutes. She could&#8217;ve gone to the cemetery and – and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women. But she hasn&#8217;t. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them.&#8221;</p>
