During an appearance on War Room, Gold Star mothers Kelly Barnett and Coral Doolittle, who lost their children as a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, expressed that former President Donald Trump has been a source of support for families like theirs.
They specifically mentioned Kelly Barnett, the mother of Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, and Coral Doolittle, the mother of Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez.
This was highlighted during an episode guest-hosted by Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.
“They politicize everything,” Doolittle said in reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris insulting Gold Star families on Saturday after they invited Trump to honor their children at Arlington National Cemetery.
“For them to just make everything, turn everything around and say, ‘He’s doing it wrong. He’s breaking the rules’ … It’s just a lie. It’s just a lie,” she insisted. “President Trump paid his respect to our kids, to all … 13 kids, and he’s the only one that actually takes time to meet with their families, to talk to their families, to honor our kids and say their names,” she said, adding, “President Trump knows our 13 kids’ names.”
Barnett claimed that she was the one who initiated contact with the Trump team to arrange for the former president’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery on that day in order to pay tribute to the children of Gold Star families.
“It was a beautiful day. President Trump has been a source of peace and a shoulder to lean on and [a] listening ear for us from, you know, the beginning. And, so, it was a beautiful day,” she said, setting the record straight that no rules were broken despite Harris’s attempt to politicize Trump’s visit in a social media post that other Gold Star families described as shocking.

“They knew that we wanted pictures … And they knew that from the get-go,” she said, explaining that they wanted them for those who could not be there:
We broke no rules. There were no rules broken. They just cannot stand that Trump did something that they’re not able to do. They hate him, and, so, whatever he does, they’re gonna throw daggers, and then they start throwing daggers at us Gold Star families.
She clarified that it raises the question of what Democrats consider to be beyond the bounds of their animosity and assaults.
“Gold Star families are off limits, and they throw daggers, so their hatred for him [Trump], you know, it goes beyond anything that you can imagine, and it’s just sickening because, like I said, that was such a beautiful day,” Barnett added.
“The ceremony was beautiful, and our hearts were lifted. I had peace for a few hours. It was needed.”
