Donald Trump on Sunday slammed President Biden and Veep Kamala Harris for the recent deaths of six Hamas hostages, blaming the horrific loss on the Dem pair’s “poor” leadership.
After the Israeli military confirmed the deaths of US-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five others in Gaza on Saturday, Trump took to Truth Social to criticize his political rivals, claiming that he could have secured the safety of the hostages if he were still president.
“Make no mistake – This happened because Comrade Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden are poor Leaders,” the GOP presidential candidate wrote.
“They have blood on their hands!” he added. “…Our Country and our amazing people are not safe under Joe Biden, and will be less safe under Kamala Harris.
“This terror would have never happened if I were President, and it will stop the day I am back in the Oval Office. America will be Strong Again, and that will make the World Safe and Secure!”
Trump’s post came after the president and vice president spoke with Goldberg-Polin’s parents, with Harris tweeting about her phone call with the heartbroken mom and dad alongside her husband, Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish.
“Doug and I just spoke to Jon and Rachel, Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s parents, to express our condolences following the brutal murder of their son by Hamas terrorists,” Harris said, who is facing Trump in November. “My heart breaks for their pain and anguish.
“I told them: As they mourn this terrible loss, they are not alone,” she added. “Our nation mourns with them.”
The bodies of the dead hostages were found in Rafah, the southern Gaza hub where the Harris-Biden administration had repeatedly pushed for Israel to avoid direct action, with President Biden previously saying it would cross a “red line.”
Biden also slammed Hamas over the recent deaths of the hostages, who the Israeli health ministry confirmed were killed by short-range shots two to three days before their bodies were found.
“I am devastated and outraged,” Biden said in a statement. “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.”
Along with Golderg-Polin, 23, the victims whose bodies were recovered Saturday were identified as Ori Danino, 25; Eden Yerushalmi, 24; Almog Sarusi, 27; Alexander Lobanov, 33, and Carmel Gat, 40.
