Congressional Democrats are at the very least saying they want a full investigation of convicted felon former President Trump’s Monday disgraceful campaign stop at Arlington National Cemetery, with Hudson Valley New York Congressman Pat Ryan, an Iraq War veteran, telling Axios “In the coming days, I’ll be talking with my colleagues – especially military veterans, from both sides of the aisle – about the proper next steps to ensure oversight and accountability. This is sacred ground. We must not allow anyone to sully it with campaign theatrics.” Mainer Jared Golden, a Mini-Manchin and Marine vet who represents the state’s MAGA 2nd District, said “all visitors should take the time to learn the rules of decorum that ensure the proper respect is given to the fallen and their families.”
Of course it’s probably not going anywhere in the House, so it’s really the Senate Ds that need to take the lead on this – which means nothing’s going to happen. “As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am troubled by the reporting and want to see the incident report,” said Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and we’ll believe it when we see him and other Senate Dems making this actually happen.
MAGA Florida Congressman Mike Waltz, a veteran who was present Monday said the prohibition on campaigning “was apparently some rule buried somewhere that was selectively brought up.”
