Trump desecrates Arlington Cemetary and lies to veterans.

[sealybobo]

Can you hear me now?

Who took those pictures?

only cemetery officials are allowed to take photos or video in Section 60, where recent casualties are buried. But Trump staffers reportedly attempted to do so anyway.

“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, which is maintained by the U.S. Army, said in a statement. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”
The Trump campaign, in remarks to NPR, maintained it did nothing wrong and had video footage to prove it.

If they have video, they broke the law. So their proof is also the evidence they broke the law.

Trump doesn't use the truth so why should we?

And yet all I can find is quotes about the law, and no actual links to it.

Also supposedly this photographer was authorized to be onsite.

The federal Codes have the force of law. The closest I could find was this one:

Federal Register :: Request Access

None of what the Trump team did appears to have violated any of the provisions of that section.

Trump never passes up an opportunity for self-promotion. His campaign took advantage of the anniversary of troop loss in Afghanistan by organizing a photo op at Arlington Cemetary with the lost soldier's families. Make no mistake. His PR people thought up and organized that ceremony specifically for publicity. There is nothing that self-promoting narcissist won't do for publicity.

What sort of people use a cemetry as a prop. Trump violated that space.

You mean who took the picture of all those people taking pictures? God you're stupid. BTW, national cemeteries are administered by the VA.

“President Trump was there on the invitation of the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families to honor their loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” LaCivita said in a statement. “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 hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Whoever this individual is spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces, and they are disrespecting everyone who paid the price for defending our country.”

Trump took part in a wreath-laying ceremony on Monday at Arlington Cemetery, honoring the 13 fallen service members who lost their lives on August 26, 2021, during the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal.

Cheryl Juels, the aunt of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, one of the servicemembers who was killed, issued a statement that they had “absolutely welcomed and appreciated having video and photography there.”

Juels added that it “was monumental.”

“I can speak for myself and our family, and we absolutely welcomed and appreciated having video and photography there with us during the time we spent with President Trump,” Juels said in a statement. “For us this was monumental, and having it recorded, we felt was important. When has a president and so many veteran members of Congress ever come to pay their respects like this EVER before? This is a hard day for us, and we have been ignored by the current administration for 3 YEARS now, so to have President Trump, take the time, to come and honor our kids at Arlington and lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with us, as well as Tyler Vargas Andrews and Kelsee Lainhart, the 2 most gravely injured Marines, to remember and honor the Abbey Gate 13, and those WIA that day, was truly an unprecedented show of presidential respect, gratitude and honor! He almost just lost his own life in service to this country! But it didn’t end there, he also took the time to come to section 60 and spent more time, laying flowers at their gravesites talking to us and asking to hear all our stories about Nicole’s life and actually listened to us, & left us all feeling validated and like someone cared!”

Juels added that they “wanted” and were “glad to have had it all recorded” for their family and the world, and praised Trump for showing what an “honorable President looks like.”

But Trump didn't. Which is what your lying ass is trying to show. That HE broke he law when it was clearly someone else.

You’d be thrilled with the use of such a photo op if Potato were the one at the cemetery, bullfrog.

That's the thing about you cult members. You always accuse others of doing what you do. I guess that's your way of trying to make what you did not sound so wrong.

 

[BULLDOG]

The soldiers LOVE Trump, and they Hate Biden and Kamala.

Soldiers LOVE conservatives. Trump isn't one.

Well that will certainly cut into the 7 million vote deficit.

Trump told Bob Woodward he knew in February that COVID-19 was 'deadly stuff' but wanted to 'play it down'​

"It's not just old people," Trump told Woodward, acknowledging the gravity of the disease

Yes, what an asshole

As of April 26, 2023, over 1.1 million deaths reported among these cases.

Imagine if Trump told us to social distance and he didn't host super spreader rallies??? How many Americans died in Afghanistan? 13???

Over 1 million died because of Trump's mishandling of the virus and you want him back?

Let me remind you what Bill Maher said a month ago

“We’re going to bring back Trump?” he asked. “The guy who ignored COVID like it was the dinner check? Talk about not learning anything.”

What does this have to do with you getting your ass kicked in this thread?

Thanks, John, this is too good to pass up.
