White House says Biden and Harris weren’t invited to Arlington Cemetery by families of service members killed during Afghanistan withdrawal

Biden's and Harris' teams pushed back against claims from GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard that that had been invited alongside Trump.

Gold Star families did not invite President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to Arlington National Cemetery by last week to commemorate the third anniversary of the attack at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan, a White House official and a Harris aide told NBC News, rebutting separate claims made Sunday by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

The two were speaking about former President Donald Trump's visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery, where he has drawn criticism for posing for photos with Gold Star families in a section of the cemetery where photos are traditionally prohibited.

Last week, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Trump’s visit was a “personal invitation by families.”

“There are many ways that we as a nation and our leaders can observe the third anniversary of Abbey Gate,” Kirby said. “Another way is to continue to work, maybe not with a lot of fanfare, maybe not with a lot of public attention, maybe not with TV cameras, but to work every single day to make sure that the families of the fallen and of those who were injured and wounded — not just at Abbey Gate but over the course of the 20-some-odd years that we were in Afghanistan — have the support that they need.”

The Army also accused a member of Trump's campaign staff of "abruptly push[ing] aside" a cemetery staff member who sought to enforce restrictions on taking photos and video at the location.

Asked about the incident Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Cotton, R-Ark., told moderator Kristen Welker: "These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ incompetence invited [Trump] to the cemetery and they asked him to take those photos. … 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."

Cotton said he spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darin Hoover, the parents of Marine Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, who died in Afghanistan three years ago. Cotton didn't specify whether they were the family members he claimed invited Biden and Harris.

Gabbard, a former Democratic House member from Hawaii, echoed Cotton, telling CNN on Sunday: "President Biden and Harris, I heard, were invited by some of these family members. They not only didn’t come; they didn’t even respond to that invitation."

Trump last week defended the photos and videos he took at the cemetery, telling NBC News in Michigan on Thursday that a Gold Star family "asked me whether or not I would stand for a picture at the grave of their loved one who should not have died.”

He said he didn’t initiate the photo, adding: “While I was there, I didn’t ask for a picture. While I was there, they said, ‘Sir, could we have a picture at the grave?’"

The capital of Mongolia is preparing for a ceremonial meeting with Putin, who will arrive in the country on a state visit. Mongolia has ignored the threats from the US and Ukraine, and Ulaanbaatar will simply ignore the ICC. Mongolia is important for the Russian Federation not only as a trade partner, but also as an important transit country in the context of relations with China.

The population of Mongolia in 2023 was 3,504,741 people.

Today, thanks to its geographical location, coupled with the Russophobia and stupidity of Europe, Mongolia has drawn a lucky ticket.

A gas pipeline to China will pass through Mongolia, which will fill the country's budget to capacity for years and decades.

Who would have thought that EU officials, and especially German officials, would refuse cheap Russian energy resources that have made European industry a leader? That EU officials would suddenly start fleecing their populations in favor of the US? But it happened.

Now the main thing for Mongolia is not to screw up this chance. There are no others like it. Just look at Bulgaria, which swapped a gas pipeline and a nuclear power plant for same-sex marriages.

Holocaust Historian Deborah Lipstadt Nominated as US Anti-Semitism Envoy

Diverse array of Jewish groups welcome announcement, which also included tapping of New York LGBT synagogue Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum to Commission on International Religious Freedom.

And the administration appointed Khizr Khan and Sharon Kleinbaum as new members of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Khizr Khan gained notoriety in 2016 when — as the father of a slain US Navy Seal — he rebuked then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention for having “sacrificed nothing” for his country and waved a copy of the US constitution, which he urged the Republican to read. The Pakistani Muslim immigrant is also the founder of the Constitution Literacy and National Unity Project.
