Veterans Groups Condemn Trump as 'A National Disgrace' Over Reports He Called Fallen Soldiers Losers and Suckers
Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, pulled strings to get Donald Trump into Arlington National Cemetery, amid what has become a scandal and a crisis for the ex-president's campaign to retake the White House.
Despite federal law that prohibits using the hallowed resting place of 400,000 of the nation's service members for political purposes, on Monday the Trump campaign photographed, filmed, and released video across multiple social media platforms showing the one-term president and convicted felon awaiting sentencing participating in a wreath-laying ceremony followed by him standing in a sacred section where photography is highly regulated, and standing by several headstones, grinning, in his famous "thumbs up" pose, which was widely condemned.
U.S. Dept. of the Army oversees and maintains Arlington National Cemetery. According to a Washington Post report Wednesday evening, "Pentagon officials were deeply concerned about the former president turning the visit into a campaign stop, but they also didn?t want to block him from coming, according to Defense Department officials and internal messages
NO SHAME
Donald Trump has turned his highly-controversial and unlawful campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery into a campaign TikTok video, complete with background music and his remarks as the voiceover.
Arlington, the final resting place for about 400,000 of Americas service members, many of whom died in service to their country, has strict rules against using the grounds for political purposes, rules that are backed up by federal law.
Not only did the Trump campaign violate federal law, according to a statement released by Arlington, but NPR reports members of the campaign allegedly got into a verbal and PHYSICAL altercation with an Arlington official who apparently was attempting to enforce the rules.
Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency
