NBC News’ “Meet the Press” issued a correction after anchor Kristen Welker incorrectly stated that Vice President Kamala Harris met with the families of Americans killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal.
During an interview with Senator Tom Cotton, Welker asserted that Harris had been present at the dignified transfer of soldiers’ remains, which was later clarified to be inaccurate.
The incident highlighted errors in media coverage and the sensitivities surrounding the Afghanistan withdrawal and the treatment of Gold Star families.
