Arlington Nationwide Cemetery has confirmed that Trump’s marketing campaign illegally used the situation to stage a marketing campaign picture op.
The cemetery launched an announcement after experiences that an Arlington official obtained right into a confrontation with two members of the Trump marketing campaign because the official tried to cease the marketing campaign occasion.
In an announcement to NPR, Arlington Nationwide Cemetery stated it “can affirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”
Federal legislation prohibits political marketing campaign or election-related actions inside Military Nationwide Army Cemeteries, to incorporate photographers, content material creators or every other individuals attending for functions, or in direct assist of a partisan political candidate’s marketing campaign,” in keeping with the assertion. “Arlington Nationwide Cemetery bolstered and extensively shared this legislation and its prohibitions with all members.”
Trump illegally used a nationwide cemetery for a marketing campaign stunt the place he then posed with a gravesite and gave a thumbs up. Later in the identical day, the ex-president appeared to confess calling fallen troops suckers and losers.Â
The lawlessness, entitlement, and disrespect by no means finish with regards to the Trump marketing campaign. On condition that the conservative Supreme Courtroom majority has dominated that something a president deems an official act is above the legislation, the Trump marketing campaign’s conduct at Arlington is only a tiny pattern of what he and a possible successor Trump administration would do as president.
Donald Trump doesn’t respect veterans, fallen troops, the legislation, and the American folks.
