Kristen Welker Faces Backlash Over Kamala Harris Dignified Transfer Claim at Abbey Gate

Sep 1, 2024, 04:10 PM

NBC News host Kristen Welker has come under scrutiny for her claim that Vice President Kamala Harris attended the dignified transfer ceremony for the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Kabul airport bombing at Abbey Gate. Multiple sources have refuted Welker's statement, asserting that Harris was not present at the ceremony and has not met with the Gold Star families of the fallen service members. The dignified transfer ceremony, which took place at Dover Air Force Base, was attended by President Joe Biden, but not by Harris. Critics have called for NBC News to issue a correction regarding Welker's inaccurate remarks.
