“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 officials’ statement said. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants. We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
whoever laid hands on an Arlington National Cemetery staff needs to be put in fucking jail. Whether they press charges or not, that's federal, hallowed ground. this shitshow makes me incandescently angry. there need to be consequences.
of course, insurrection, treason, assault, and so many other crimes have gone unpunished. jfc
So I've been seeing this pic and its edits a lot lately but I'm completely out if the loop. Other than the weirdness of Trump and others smiling next to a grave, what is the context here?
