(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a powerful critique of Kamala Harris, which must be hitting her where it hurts, Gold Star father Mark Schmitz has ripped the Democrat presidential nominee, labeling her commitment to care for US troops and their families as insincere.
Schmitz articulated his doubts about Harris’s credentials and intentions in a Newsmax TV interview.
“This woman has no credible experience running anything like this,” Schmitz asserted on the “Wake Up America” program.
“She’ll say just about anything to get herself elected, that’s obvious. I mean, what’s she going to do, start caring now? She’s had 3 1/2 years to reach out to me. My phone is always on. I’ve never gotten a phone call, never gotten an email. It’s despicable. She’ll say whatever needs to be said in order to sound good on television. I’m living proof, along with 12 other families, that she’s full of crap,” he elaborated.
Schmitz’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, was one of the thirteen service members who perished on August 26, 2021, during the chaotic withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan.
Although President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris issued statements to commemorate the date, Schmitz expressed skepticism regarding their personal engagement with the remembrance.
“I’m sure the statements came from their aides and not themselves personally. I mean, Biden apparently is too busy with his beachfront vacations last week and this week,” he noted.
Schmitz criticized the current administration’s accountability and its impact on military families.
“It’s asking too much of him to admit his faults and that his policy and his decision-making caused all of this and then, obviously, everything that’s happened since. As a family, a Gold Star family who’s lost a son, we know we can’t bring them back,” he said.
“But for us, we have hundreds of thousands of military out there in harm’s way right now and we don’t want to see another family ever go through this again. And that starts at the top. The leadership has got to be there to make the right decisions and not screw things up like Biden and Harris did. And now that she’s [Harris] touting that she was in the room with him and supported him in his decisions, she owns this policy as much as he does,” the Gold Star father added.
In contrast to Harris, Schmitz commended former President Donald Trump’s approach to the situation.
Trump, according to Schmitz, has “vowed to get accountability” for the missteps during the operation and “will demand resignation letters” from those involved who remain in office.
