Well, luckily for the former president*‘s campaign, it wasn’t raining on Monday, when he grotesquely used Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop because, as we know, he gets a little nervous around soldiers’ graves in the rain, and he says things that require him to lie his ass off later. Most recently, of course, he devalued the Congressional Medal of Honor in favor of a bauble he draped on Rush Limbaugh and the wife of one of the sleaziest of his sleazy donors.
I think the bigger story is that someone from the cemetery asked that they not shoot photos/video of the section of the cemetery they were in, and then Trump’s campaign staff verbally and physically assaulted the cemetery staff.
So he has now disparaged soldiers at said cemetery, now exploited recently fallen soldiers laid to rest in said cemetery to try and cover for the prior disparaging (as well as the medal of honor), and then assault staff of said cemetery because they tried to stop them from exploiting the cemetery.
You know it’s a cult because it’s the only way to explain how veterans can look past his flagrant disdain for soldiers, and still stand by him while his campaign disparages Walz for his service.
Who exactly is staffed at this cemetery? I’m honestly not sure…Ive checked a few news sources and can only find ‘an official.’ Are they active duty military personnel? Did trumps team assault a uniformed soldier? Why isn’t it being put this way anywhere?
It involved the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier so it’s entirely possible. I’m honestly impressed the Infantry guarding it didn’t put the campaign staffers in the hospital.
