JD Vance says Kamala Harris "can go to hell" over Afghanistan withdrawal

Washington — On Wednesday, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio said Vice President Kamala Harris "can go to hell" over the Biden administration's handling of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The remark stemmed from an "incident" during former President Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Monday to mark three years since a suicide bombing in Kabul killed 13 service members during the chaotic withdrawal from the country.
Trump visited part of the cemetery known as Section 60, where veterans of the post-9/11 conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are laid to rest. While there, an interaction occurred between Trump campaign staff and a cemetery official, according to multiple sources. The dispute appears to be over whether the Trump campaign's photographer had permission to be there.
