ERIE, Pennsylvania — The chaser Wednesday in Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) trip to this all-important county in the northwestern corner of Pennsylvania came when the Republican vice presidential nominee said Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris can “go to hell” for her handling of the 2021 attack at Abbey Gate in the final days of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Harris, for her part, has claimed that she was the last person in the room when Biden made the decision that led to the death of 13 American soldiers.
