Trump Campaign Staffers Involved in Altercation at Arlington National Cemetery During Photo Opportunity
ai generated text
An altercation occurred at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday involving Donald Trump's campaign staff. The incident reportedly took place when a cemetery official attempted to stop the staff from filming and taking photographs in a restricted area. The cemetery has confirmed the incident, stating that one of its representatives became involved in a dispute with two Trump staffers. According to a defense official, the Trump campaign was warned about not taking photographs before their arrival at the cemetery. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that the Trump campaign staff members verbally abused and pushed the cemetery official who tried to stop them.
Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants. We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.
Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign.
It's sad but all too expected that Donald Trump would desecrate this hallowed ground and put campaign politics ahead of honouring our heroes.
Donald Trump is a person who wants to make everything all about Donald Trump. He's also somebody who has a history of demeaning and degrading military service members, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
This is what we've come to expect from Donald Trump and his team.
Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened. She wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up. She can go to hell!
Caused by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world.
For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump's team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.
Whoever this individual is, spreading these lies are dishonouring the men and women of our armed forces.
There was no physical altercation as described and we are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made.
The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason, an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony.
This was not a campaign event and was never intended to be used by the campaign.
