Trump shows up during a ceremony honoring the people that died due to his 2020 agreements with the Taliban, breaks the cemetery’s “no political photography” rule, all in an attempt to regain rapport with veterans and active service members.
Beyond delusional.
And of course he personally attacked the person who had the audacity to enforce the very reasonable rules protecting these soldiers' graves from being used for bullshit political stunts by insurrectionist traitors who do not value freedom and democracy and the principles these soldiers dedicated their lives to.
Not personally, I thought it was a staffer.
I meant personally as in targeting a specific individual with insults over doing their jobs and following procedures, but you're right that it was a staffer (not that I don't think Trump would do similar)
Oh and Vance, a fucking GWOT vet (although without a CAR we know he didn’t actually get up to any hoodrat shit) himself, defended him.
Not only did he defend Trump, but he also told Harris to "go to hell" as part of that defense.
Trump’s running mate JD Vance was asked about the incident Wednesday at a campaign event in Erie, Pennsylvania, and said that “apparently somebody at Arlington Cemetery, some staff member, had a little disagreement with somebody” and “the media has turned this into a national news story.”
He instead tried to focus on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling Harris “disgraceful” for not firing anyone for the deaths of service members in the terror attack. “She can go to hell,” Vance said.
As if it's the VPs job to do hiring and firing in the military or executive branch. What an idiotic redirection.
Also ignoring that the investigation of the IED bombing found there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it, as is often the case in these low level terror attacks.
Both pieces of shit. I'm glad this shitty pandering is backfiring.
Right? What does he thinks the VP does exactly?
He might be imagining he'll be a VP like Dick Cheney and projecting that onto Harris.
Vance is really on a roll since that donut shop tour, lol
thumbs up
He'll probably sell commemorative photos.
Pixels of the photos so everyone can have a piece of history! /s
Nah, it will include part of the wreath and a torn piece of a dead soldiers photo.
