Details are a little sketchy but per some sort of internal NPR reporting memo by correspondent Quil Lawrence via colleague David Folkenflik, two members of convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign staff got into a verbal and physical altercation with officials at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday during the fat fuck’s political capitalization of the deadly suicide bombing that took the lives of 13 US service members during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Only cemetery staff are permitted to take photographs inside the section in which the service members killed during the Kabul withdrawal are buried but when an official tried to prevent the Trump minions from entering they were cursed at and shoved aside, according to the NPR memo.
Large-headed Trump spokesman Steven Cheung responded to NPR with a denial, saying “There was no physical altercation as described and we are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made. The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.” Trump smiled and gave a thumbs up over one of their graves, showing just how solemn and serious he was.
“The Trump campaign declined to make the footage immediately available,” NPR notes in the memo immediately after Cheung’s statement (the NPR way of saying he’s full of shit). They then included a statement from Arlington officials, saying “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. 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”
