My name is Darren Hoover
and I'm the Gold Star Father of the United States Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover.
Kamala, I want you to understand
and I know it will be difficult for you
because you lack empathy
and basic understanding. Empathy and basic understanding.
The events that happened
on August 26, 2024
with President Trump at Arlington National Cemetery
were solemn
and in keeping with the reverence and respect that is given to all members of our military
that are buried
there. We invited President Trump.
We are the ones that asked for the video
and the pictures to be taken
at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
This was a very solemn wreath laying in our son's name,
along with the Sergeant Nicole G. Family,
as well as 2 of our catastrophically
injured
military members
that were there on that horrific day
in
the honor
of our Abbey Gate 13.
We then moved to the gravesite where our children are buried.
Again, we asked the Trump team
to take the videos,
take the pictures
of our time there.
President Trump then laid a wreath
at the grave
side of
Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Christian Knaus.
There he talked to both his
mother and father.
President Trump then moved to our son's grave where we were surrounded by our family and friends
where we talked about Taylor
and his sacrifice to this country.
Let me be clear
there was no politics
discussed
none whatsoever
There was also not an assault
that we observed
take place or
Did we hear it? I don't know where this is coming from, but it's disgusting
and gross
From the President Trump has been there for us from the very beginning
when our son and the other 12
of his brothers and sisters in arms were murdered due to your negligence
and uncaring attitude towards our military.
Don't forget, Kamala,
you were the last 1 in the room.
You and Joe Biden
made the final decision
on how to pull out of Afghanistan.
You
created the chaos and mayhem
for the military to accomplish their goals.
Our sons and daughters
made the best of a difficult situation
as they had been trained to do.
They adapted
and overcame
all of that
and came out as heroes,
something that you will never know or understand.
Kamala, we have been treated with the utmost respect,
compassion,
and understanding by President Trump,
Something you and Joe Biden have refused to do since August 26, 2021.
Where were you and Joe Biden
on August 26, 2024?
Nowhere near Arlington Cemetery.
You couldn't be bothered to be with us or even say our kids names
just as you have done for the last 3 years.
Neither of 1 of you have called to speak with us
or share in our grief. I wonder, Kamala,
do you sleep at night securely in your bed
or do you have nightmares
of our kids
because it was your incompetence
and negligence
that got our kids murdered.
It is you who sends out messages on social media
that are outright lies.
It is you that has disrespected our families.
It is you who knows nothing
about service and sacrifice.
It is you that has divided this country and it is you who is unfit to be the commander in chief.
These are the only memories we get to make with our son and it is you who is playing politics and trying to detract from our memories made that day.
You should be ashamed and embarrassed at your lack of empathy
and decency
as a human being.
You are only in this for the
power and prestige.
You don't care for our military
or the citizens of this country.
You should hang your head in shame at your actions
or lack thereof.
You need to move aside,
get out of the way,
and
stop hindering the progress,
growth,
and independence
of this great nation.
