U.S. Army Issues Statement Criticizing Trump Campaign Over Their Behavior at Arlington Cemetary

[Rebound]

While filming a political video at Arlington Cemetery, an Arlington employee told a Trump cameraman that he was forbidden from entering or photographing Area 60, where the most recent veterans are buried. Doing so, she explained, was a violation of Federal law. But we know that Trump and his cronies don’t give a damn about Federal law, nor respecting our veterans. 

The statement from the U.S. Army said Trump’s staff “unfairly attacked” an Arlington National Cemetery employee:

“This incident was unfortunate, and it is also unfortunate that the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked,” a statement from the Army’s public affairs office said, referring to Arlington National Cemetery. “ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve.”

 

Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said in a statement that the cemetery official was “clearly suffering from a mental health episode” and that the campaign was prepared to release footage of the confrontation to support its account of the clash. The campaign did not provide that footage after several requests.

Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, added in a separate statement that the cemetery official was “a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

PROOF that Donald Trump and his cronies have no respect for the men and women who serve our nation.

So, now the Biden administration is using an official Army public affairs spokesman for politics to attack a rival campaign. 

There is no low this administration will not sink to in abusing their power.

It’s too bad that you’re supporting a piece of shlt TRAITOR who lead a RIOT on the US Capitol and promised to pardon the insurrectionists if re-elected. You hate America and it makes us sick.

Well, f*ck…. Whaddya know, Trump’s gone and violated Federal law AGAIN. 

And his people were told they were violating Federal law.  How hard is it to walk out of a section of a cemetery? “Oh, I’m sorry, pardon me, my bad…. I’ll just move over here.” How f-ing hard is that? But now, Trump’s people ignored the officials, made up their own rules, broke Federal law, and then claimed that the person who rightfully and properly ASKED them to move was having a mental health episode.

TRUMP lead an insurrection, TRUMP’s been indicted on felony charges by FIVE GRAND JURIES, ALL UNANIMOUS. CONVICTED OF 34 FELONIES AND LIABLE FOR A $500 MILLION FRAUD JUDGEMENT. It’s a shame that YOU HATE AMERICA.

The desired outcome of the transing of the military unfortunately. Very common in a communist/fascist regime

Apparently the women wasn't acting right even tho Donnie got clearance for a private photographer. 

She's probably worked up because of all Harris/Biden casualties so we can give her a pass

Cult behaviour right here. you sheep can't admit that Trump grinning over the graves of dead servicemen for a campaign opportunity was gauche and disrespectful so you have to invent insane conspiracy theories implicating public servants who are doing their jobs.

It wouldn’t be an issue if Kamala had the balls to pay respects in this manner, what you believe is irrelevant…

[suds]

From The Hill....... "According to Arlington National Cemetery’s media policy, filming and photographing is not authorized “for partisan, political or fundraising purposes, in accordance with the Hatch Act.”  So how does this work now? The Hatch Act applies to all executive branch civil servants, but does not include the President or Vice President. Trump is neither President, Vice President, or a civil servant. So the problem is the photographer?  But if that's the case, I can post a dozen photos of Presidents, Vice Presidents,and Past Presidents, laying wreaths at Arlington. So who took all these photos? Or is it a case of when Trump does it, it's political, but not when anyone else does it?

It would absolutely be an issue of Kamala turned a visit to the cemetery into a campaign event where her team assaulted a cemetery staff member and she posed like a f*cking grinning idi0t over somebody's grave, you're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

You lie

65 killed by hostiles under Trump

16 killed by hostiles under Biden (Official records are not updated for this year, but I believe 13 in 2022 and 3 earlier this year is the full count)

The truth is that you absolutely don't give a single solitary shit about dead soldiers. You think this is an opportunity to score cheap political points. You are exploiting dead soldiers for cynical political gain. You're disgusting. Stop it.

He wasn't campaigning. He was invited by family members to a memorial for their loved ones who unfortunately lost their lives because of the Biden/Harris administration
