Trump claims Arlington incident never happened. Says Harris just made it up.

You do know Biden filmed a campaign commercial on that same lot? Where is your outrage?

Should I take your worth nothing word for it?

He did it, but we know you won't care.

 

[MisterBeale]

It's illegal to use pictures or video there for political purposes.

It is only illegal depending on who you are. . .

I know you are full of shit and what you post is usually made up garbage that falls apart with a simple google search.

You should care, but you don't.

Prove it.

You do realize the gold star families wanted Trump there and hired the photographers? Why do you want to cause more grief for those families? You're also stupid for starting a forum. On something that was debunked several days ago.

It was Trump’s photographer.

“Trump’s campaign also has its own photographer. In an email, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said Trump’s photographer was authorized by Arlington officials to accompany Trump on the visit, and a post he published on X said Trump’s team could include a “photographer and/or videographer.”

In 1999, McCain too faced backlash from the Army and the public for his Arlington ad. He admitted he erred and removed the two seconds of footage from the ad.

Jimmy McCain said Donald Trump used military graves as a "backdrop for a political campaign," something his father did in 1999.

Trump admited nothing, corrected nothing, appologized to no one.

Nothing to do with who was or wasn't invited. It's illegal to use pictures or video there for political purposes. Especially in that section of the cemetery.

Why is that section different than any other section?

Also who were the people smiling next to him in the picuture?

And he was authorized to be there. I have not seen anything from the government to contradict that.

Have you see any confirmation that they were authorized to be there?

So far the only side to say anything about it is Trump's side, and the government hasn't said anything to the contrary.

So you are just taking the word of the campaign. That’s pretty stupid.

The government said they weren’t adhering to the rules. That’s a fact.

Funny how Trump’s campaign claims that they have video to exonerate them but refuse to release it.

The government vaguely said that, did not point out what rules, and did not counter the campaign that the photographer was authorized to be there.

Funny how the government hasn't made specific accusations.

 

[Frankenstein]

This is not a flaming thread. It is based in facts that have a direct bearing on our political outcome. Despite the military releasing a statement describing the incident, and criticizing the trump campaign for their behavior, trump now says the incident didn't happen, and Harris just made the whole thing up. His constant lies don't phase his supporters. Will the GOP ever return to a time when blatant provable lies are no longer acceptable, and truth and integrity have a place in their decisions?

He was invited

Exonerate them from what? Some anonymous person made unpublished allegations that were investigated and closed.

The fact that the army has said anything about it at all is pretty remarkable.

The statement is pretty clear that the incident occurred while trying to enforce the rules about photos and video for political purposes at the cemetery.

But you go ahead and believe the Trump campaign, as if they’re a reliable source.

They didn’t want to file charges out of fear of retaliation from Trump’s supporters.

Good work.

Did the Army say it, or the Department of the Army?

I've searched to find out, but of course the MSM doesn't usually link to stuff like this.

The statement came from the US army public affairs office, where you'd expect it.

The statement also said the employee was pushed, which Trump's campaign has denied. Not that you care.

I think Congress should open an investigation. After all, this is their jurisdiction.

I find this to be the most enlightening statement from the article:
Arlington Cemetery staff dealt directly with Mast’s chief of staff, James Langenderfer, briefing him extensively on the rules, which include no campaign events at the cemetery. They also reiterated that only an official Arlington National Cemetery photographer — and no campaign photographer — could be used at Section 60, the location of the recent American war dead. The source said Langenderfer told them the Trump campaign agreed to these rules.

Again, Army or Department of the Army?
