Senator JD Vance of Ohio strongly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, condemning the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Speaking at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Vance declared that the Democratic presidential nominee “can go to hell,” marking his harshest language toward Harris on the campaign trail.
Vance’s remarks were in response to a reporter’s question about an “incident” that occurred on Monday when former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery. The visit was with family members of service members who were killed during the 2021 attack at Abbey Gate at Kabul airport, which took place in the final days of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
