Trump staff warned about taking photos before cemetery altercation: official - National | Globalnews.ca
Donald Trump's campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery to honour service members, a defense official said.
Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honour service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
[...]
“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,” the cemetery officials’ statement said. “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.”
Trump shows up during a ceremony honoring the people that died due to his 2020 agreements with the Taliban, breaks the cemetery’s “no political photography” rule, all in an attempt to regain rapport with veterans and active service members.
Beyond delusional.
And of course he personally attacked the person who had the audacity to enforce the very reasonable rules protecting these soldiers' graves from being used for bullshit political stunts by insurrectionist traitors who do not value freedom and democracy and the principles these soldiers dedicated their lives to.
Oh and Vance, a fucking GWOT vet (although without a CAR we know he didn’t actually get up to any hoodrat shit) himself, defended him.
Not only did he defend Trump, but he also told Harris to "go to hell" as part of that defense.
Trump’s running mate JD Vance was asked about the incident Wednesday at a campaign event in Erie, Pennsylvania, and said that “apparently somebody at Arlington Cemetery, some staff member, had a little disagreement with somebody” and “the media has turned this into a national news story.”
He instead tried to focus on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling Harris “disgraceful” for not firing anyone for the deaths of service members in the terror attack. “She can go to hell,” Vance said.
thumbs up
He'll probably sell commemorative photos.
Pixels of the photos so everyone can have a piece of history! /s
Nah, it will include part of the wreath and a torn piece of a dead soldiers photo.

I’m really getting tired of seeing photos of Donnie’s little pedo hands groping that wreath.
Does anybody know what the actual incident was?
From the link:
It came a day after NPR reported, citing a source with knowledge of the incident, that two Trump campaign staff members “verbally abused and pushed” aside a cemetery official who tried to stop them from filming and photographing in Section 60, the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Cemetery staff tried to stop them from filming/taking photographs in a restricted section of cemetery and and Trump's people physically and verbally abused them for doing their job.
Even worse, in my opinion, is Trump spokesman Steven Cheung's response.
“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,” he said.
How dare that peon try to enforce the rules? Didn't they know that Trump is beyond all mortal regulations? Clearly the peon was mentally ill at the time.
clearly suffering from a mental health episode
It's horrifying that Trump's campaign manager would casually make this significant health claim on an official that dared to do his job rather than bow to Trump's will. Just horrifying.
You don’t even have to open the article to get your answer, the relevant portion of text has been transcribed into the body of the post. Scroll up and read for fucks sake.
