Kamala Harris Faces Backlash Over Misleading Claims About U.S. Troops in Combat Zones
Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for her claims during a recent debate that there are no active duty U.S. troops in any combat zones, leading to widespread criticism from military personnel, veterans, and political opponents. Soldiers and families of wounded veterans have called her statement brazen and misleading, questioning 'where are we then?' if not in a war zone. Critics, including GOP Congressman Tom Cotton and military experts, have labeled her remarks as false, highlighting that U.S. troops are indeed involved in combat across various regions. Despite attempts by allies like Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey to downplay the controversy, the backlash continues to grow as the truth of military deployments contradicts Harris's assertions.
