Trump Videos at Arlington Stir More Fallout After Gravesite Visit
The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.
Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano issued their statement two days after Mr. Trump’s visit, which also included a confrontation between members of the Trump campaign and an Arlington employee. The former president’s campaign took video in a heavily restricted section of the cemetery known as Section 60, which is largely reserved for the fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
A woman who works at the cemetery filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation. But the official, who has not been identified, later declined to press charges. Military officials said she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.

Just because some trump supporters wanted to give him an opportunity for a publicity stunt by inviting him to Arlington Cemetery doesn't mean he and his entourage gets to violate federal law.
After the woman involved in the incident saw what happened to jurors and members of law enforcement, including judges and clerks, who were only doing their jobs yet were attacked by trump's mob who can blame the Arlington employee for not pursuing the matter. The idea the woman was intimidated by Don's thug's prior actions must bring a smile to his face as it would any person advantaged by fascist tactics.
