GOP Senator Tom Cotton shut down the fake news Arlington hoax while on Meet The Press.
Tom Cotton said, “These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden Kamala Harris’s incompetence, invited him to the cemetery, and they asked him to take those photos because, as they told me yesterday when I spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darren Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don’t get to go to the beach on Labor Day. They don’t get to have barbecues.”

“Bottom line, though, I guess, Senator, is it ever appropriate to make campaign content at military grave sites?” Welker posed, framing the discussion around the ethical implications of such actions.
Cotton responded emphatically, detailing the personal nature of Trump’s visit, which was requested by the families of fallen service members. “He didn’t take campaign photos. These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden Kamala Harris’s incompetence, invited him to the cemetery, and they asked him to take those photos because, as they told me yesterday when I spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darren Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don’t get to go to the beach on Labor Day. They don’t get to have barbecues. This is their one chance to have a memory of their children to commemorate their service and honor their sacrifice. They wanted President Trump there. They wanted to take those photos,” Cotton explained.
The senator contrasted the active participation of Trump with the absence of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who were notably uninvolved in the commemorative event. “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, DC. She was four miles away, ten minutes. She could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn’t. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them,” Cotton asserted.
Welker interjected to note that Biden and Harris did meet with the families during the dignified transfer of the service members, a point that Cotton acknowledged but countered by emphasizing the broader context of the administration’s foreign policy failures. “It is because of her and Joe Biden’s incompetence those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan,” Cotton concluded, placing the blame squarely on the current administration for the circumstances leading to the service members’ deaths.
NBC had to issue a correction saying Kamala Harris was not at the dignified transfer.
NBC posted a correction on the show’s X account after the show.
“On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal,” NBC wrote on their “Meet the Press” X account.
“Biden was in attendance but Harris was not,” the statement continued.
