Gold Star Mom Accuses Biden-Harris Administration Of Disrespect

Gold Star mom Jaclyn Schmitz slammed the Biden-Harris administration for rejecting her and other Gold Star parents' request to honor their fallen children with a memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, calling it a "spit in the face."

Gold Star mother Jaclyn Schmitz has launched a scathing attack on the Biden-Harris administration, accusing it of "spitting in the face" of bereaved military families.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime," Schmitz expressed deep frustration over the administration's refusal to acknowledge the deaths of their children and its dismissive attitude towards their request for a memorial at Arlington.

"It's just another spit in the face," Schmitz said. "Another slap in the face. I'm absolutely so frustrated with this administration. First, they don't even acknowledge that our kids even died on their watch. Then to spit in our face and say that Donald Trump was politicizing this when it was us, the families, that had invited him."

Schmitz's comments come after former President Donald Trump visited Arlington Cemetery last week, where he honored 13 service members killed in a terrorist attack during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Following the event, media outlets such as NPR and the Associated Press reported that a Trump campaign photographer had recorded footage in a restricted area that prohibits political activity. The U.S. Army also confirmed that a cemetery staffer had been "abruptly pushed aside" during the event.

Schmitz expressed outrage over the controversy, saying that Trump's visit was a meaningful gesture of support for grieving Gold Star families.

"We were all absolutely just pissed off," Schmitz said. "In fact, the White House and Biden and Harris were invited as well, they just chose not to be there."

Schmitz further revealed that neither Biden nor Harris had reached out to her or any other Gold Star parents since assuming office.

"We have never heard from either one of them," Schmitz said. "Ever. In the entire three years since our kids were killed by their administration. And what he said during the debate was even more of a gut punch."

"That nobody, that no service member had died during his presidency," she said, referring to Biden's false claim during a debate that no U.S. troops had been killed in Afghanistan since he took office.

Schmitz's heartfelt pleas have struck a chord with thousands of Americans, who have expressed outrage over the Biden-Harris administration's perceived insensitivity towards Gold Star families.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
