‘Meet The Press’ Issues Correction On VP Harris’s Attendance At Dignified Transfer Of Killed American Service Members

“Meet the Press” issued a correction of host Kristen Welker’s exchange with Republican Arkansas Sen. Tim Cotton as they discussed Sunday how President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump responded to the deaths of 13 American service members during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Welker incorrectly stated that both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris attended the Aug. 29, 2021 dignified transfer of remains at Dover Air Force Base. Vice President Harris did not attend the event.

“You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away — ten minutes. She could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn’t. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them,” Sen. Cotton said.
