Trump trying to shift blame for Arlington visit

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Shame on you lefties (still living in your parent's basement?) for turning Arlington into a political cartoon show.

Well here is the dumbest shit anyone will read all day.

The Trump Campaign would like to thank you for your support by being the Total Douche that you are!

With enemies like you, they really don't need frens.

Demofks do not respect gold star families at all. They can’t shout it loud or often enough

Of course the families of the dead soldiers are angry. They are also likely misinformed about the circumstances surrounding the suicide bombing.

At the Pentagon briefing Tuesday, deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh highlighted the report released in February 2022 about the U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, investigation into the attack. "CENTCOM conducted a very comprehensive, credible and definitive investigation into the Abbey gate bombing following the attack," Singh said. "U.S. military commanders on the ground in Afghanistan ... made decisions that they could with the information that they had at the time.”

Speaking to reporters about the probe, Army Brig. Gen. Lance Curtis, who led it, said officials determined that the attack couldn't have been stopped.

"Based on our investigation at the tactical level, this was not preventable, and the leaders on the ground followed the proper measures, and any time there was an imminent threat warning they followed the proper procedures: They lowered their profile, they sought cover, and, at times, they even ceased operations at the gate," Curtis said.

Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, who oversaw the withdrawal as head of U.S. Central Command, said at the time that the findings were based on evidence collected, the testimony of more than 100 people and analysis of experts. He said, "The conclusions of the team, based upon evidence, gives a compelling and truthful examination of the event."

Now they've allowed their grief to align themselves with this guy.

In an ABC interview, Mr. Trump implied that Ghazala Khan’s silence while her husband spoke about their soldier son’s death at the Democratic convention may have been because of her Muslim faith.

There is no blame to shift.

He was invited there for the ceremony by the Gold Star families.

Don’t confuse the TDS infected with facts.

First, it isn't a law, it is VA policy.

False.

The tru.p campaign was explicitly warned not to do what they did and explicitly given the federal law that prohibits it.

Try again?

It was not theirs to give.

FALSE.

Haha, this is the height of insight we can expect from those who know less than nothing about any of this.

Wrong of course.

Gold star families cannot grant permission for illegal activity.

Well here is the dumbest shit anyone will read all day.

If a photo shopped Trump posing in front of an alleged Arlington tomb stone isn't the dumbest (and most insulting) shit, I'll eat my hat.

What in the world are you babbling about?

Freakish.

OK, thank you for the link.

It proves that what Trump and the families were doing was not against the law, unless the cemetery worker appointed themselves; JUDGE, JURY, & EXECUTIONER.

That is not the prerogative or role of the worker. Sorry.

Wrong of course.

but it wasn't illegal activity.

What a bizarre lie.

Their activity was illegal no matter who was or wasn't there to see it.

And you know it.

 

[berg80]

Oh, so no link, eh? Thanks

Right, no link. Just the only possible explanation for the family's behavior.

 

[mudwhistle]

Interesting fairy tale. Those same families were more than happy to allow the event to become a campaign ad for trump, the purpose of inviting him all along. That's shameless exploitation of their dead relatives. They should be banned from Arlington from now on.

Knock yourself out trying to ban Gold Star families from Arlington National Cemetery.

What a bizarre lie.

Their activity was illegal no matter who was or wasn't there to see it.

And you know it.

“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 said Tuesday. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

I'm just saying their despicable conduct warrants a response. If families are going to allow the use of the gravesites of their relatives as props in a campaign video there should be some kind of reprimand.

If members of the media, or people working for the Biden Adm, decided to be disruptive then that's on them.

Since that isn't what happened why don't you STFU.

 

[Auld Phart]

has anyone considered the employee was moved out of the way, physically, because he was photobombing the picture where the family was posing with the president
