Joni Ernst calls House Democrat's treatment of Gold Star families 'appalling'
Fox News
The chairman of a House committee ignored a request from 40 Gold star families for three months.
"This is extremely inconsiderate, considering they and their families have given that ultimate sacrifice with the loss of a loved one in the Global War on Terror," Ernst, an Iowa Republican, told Fox News. "The delay in response is very appalling to me." Then-President Trump in 2017 signed the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Act, which authorized the memorial on federal land in Washington, D.C., but it did not provide a specific location.More Related News
