Republicans defend Trump amid Arlington Nat'l Cemetery campaign fracas https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/083024_trump_arlington/republicans-defend-trump-amid-arlington-natl-cemetery-campaign-fracas/
As Donald Trump’s campaign came under fire this week over an incident at a ceremony honoring the victims of a 2021 terrorist attack in Afghanistan, Republican lawmakers worked to shift focus away from the former president and onto the White House.

Of course, the GOP trying to lay blame over these deaths are also wrong, probably trying to counter H.R. McMaster's new book.
"The Trump administration signed its peace agreement with the Taliban in February 2020 in Doha, Qatar, laying out a U.S. troop withdrawal timeline and commitments from the Taliban to prevent terrorism.
"The Taliban have been in control of Afghanistan's theocratic government since the withdrawal, regularly drawing international condemnation for alleged human rights abuses that often target women and girls.
"In attempting to lay all of the blame for the withdrawal's aftermath at the feet of Biden—and now often Harris, this year's Democratic presidential nominee—Republicans rarely mention Trump's role in negotiating the withdrawal plan.
"While the withdrawal was taking place, the Republican National Committee scrubbed its website of content that previously praised the former president's 'historic peace agreement with the Taliban.'"
