As the Gold Star son of a soldier buried in Section 60 at Arlington, this is disgusting. And the definition of hypocrisy - to shoot a campaign ad exploiting war dead & their grieving families, claiming Congress is disrespecting those buried in our nation’s most hallowed ground https://twitter.com/haroldearls/status/1380198050392649736

What’s worse is that anyone who has served in the Old Guard knows how sacred those grounds are. How can you present a folded flag to a grieving widow in the same spot you later exploit for politics?

I’ll reiterate the admonition I shouldn’t ever have to say (but do, sadly): Gold Star families are not political pawns
