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

[suds]

If I was part of one of the bereaved families in attendance I think it would mean something that at least somebody showed up.  In this particular case nobody has anything to apologize for. Yeah rules are rules but there are always exceptions.

I am mocking your argument. 

I have never argued that politicians are always in campaign mode, so not only are you a liar, you're a bad liar at that.

My position is the consistent one here, that photos are taken there by others like Obama and Biden, its fine for Trump too. 

Well the U.S. Army appears to disagree.

No you dolt, you are trying to argue that just because Trump was there taking pictures, it made it campaign mode...

They work for Biden. They take his pictures and video for him at the same place where he uses them to advance his politics.

I'm arguing that Trump being there with his campaign team taking pictures and video he used for his campaign made it a campaign event you dumb f*ck.

Why didn't the Army take his pictures and publish them for him?

If you're using it for your campaign, then yes it is.

Because they don't do partisan campaign events, which this was.

Here we go again... politicians use everything for their campaign. So, basically, you just don't like Trump. This is all just partisan nonsense.

You said it was his photographers who made it a campaign event. I took them out of the equation. So now you move the goal posts.

Totes cool when Biden gets to use the cemetery for his politics... not Trump though, he must go there and we must make sure there is no photo evidence that is shared. 

If only Trump had the Army taking pictures for him or the White House photographer...

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. 

 

The Trumps have always had no respect for  military personnel, going back generations. Trump's Great Grandfather fled Germany to avoid serving in the German army in the late 19th century, The first Trump to come to America eventually set up shop in the Yukon, running a whore house. Then tried to return to Germany only to realise there was an arrest warrant for desertion. He settled in New York.

That's irrelevant. You're still part of the administration.

So what? So is Biden's secretary, and she has NOTHING to do with POLICY.

You're not making ANY sense when you POST NO REASON to believe YOUR OPINION.

Of course border erasing psychopaths like today's democrats are the LAST people to talk about rules of any kind, as they continuously embrace criminal behavior throughout their shithole cities. 

Keeping a cameraman out is one thing, but the former president's cameraman? I need to see language in the policy that supports that. 

Former POTUS have NO OFFICIAL standing. They are JUST CITIZENS like ANYONE ELSE. Duh

Now get to work on securing the border and restoring law and order in your shithole cities.  

They are YOUR "shithole cities," too. Probably ONLY cause they mostly exist in your imagination.

What campaigns were underway in 2009 and 2021 when those photos were taken? Were those images used in official campaign materials or campaign channels? Were they taken by the press pool or official photographers or campaign staff? Did your mom drink when she was pregnant with you or was it gas huffing?

Luser cannot anticipate the ridiculousness of his claims, which is why he's on IGNORE.

No, there are NOT "always exceptions." That is just your FLIMSY EXCUSE for yet another Trump crime.

Several of Trumps administration got harassed publicly. Chased from restaurants. 

Why is that? Because they did nothing, or because they are part of the Trump administration?

There is a reason why so many musicians refuse to allow Trump to use their music. Its essentially an open endorsement if you let it slide.

Just like working as a presidents second hand in command, and openly endorsing his record as a president.

You not signing the documents, becomes irrelevant.

Their music is their property and using it without permission is theft of intellectual property. It is stealing. Shouldn’t a person running for President obey the law?  Why should I obey the law if he doesn’t have to?

Because you will go to prison for breaking it if caught. Thats almost certain. 

Sounds rather simple.

People can and will associate anyone in your administration, with the person running it.

So you’re saying that if I’m convicted of, say, 34 felonies, I should go to prison, but if Trump is convicted of 34 felonies, he doesn’t have to go to prison because special rules apply to him?

Trump is trying to throw the military families under the bus, saying maybe they set him up to look bad. 😂

Depends on what those felonies are.

If they are politically motivated, I feel he would or should have the right to defend himself.

Also, a public official and a civilian aren't the same. 

Proof of this, is assault on a civilian, cop and public official carry different penalties.

Get it through your thick skull: Photography in that section of the centers is forbidden by Federal law. Evidence of the crime is shown in the photo below, where the foolishly grinning Trump is giving the thumbs-up at a gravesite.

And all the convicted assaults on those police officers on January 6 will be pardoned by Trump.  Cause Trump is a felon who behaves exactly like you expect a felon to behave. 
 

Kinda how Hitler pardoned the guys who burned down the Reichstag.

We are saying that there is a criminal code and schedule for the seriousness of offenses. Like, if your 34 felonies are just 34 payments for the same thing... vs 1 felony of murdering someone, then you don't have to be a legal expert to figure out that the 1 felony is far, far, far worse than the 34.
