“For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump’s team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed [sic] grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Whoever this individual is spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces, and they are disrespecting everyone who paid the price for defending our country,” LaCivita continued.

This is vile.

‘No video has been released yet’ to the surprise of no one.

N0body ,

When the next J6 certification comes, Biden should issue an emergency order suspending posse comitatus and let the Army secure the Capitol. Teach those Trump thugs some respect.

yeather ,

You mean give them something to latch onto if they win or lose? If Kamala wins don’t expect just Jan 6 to be a bad date, Nov 9, Jan 20-21, etc etc. if they win, they get to point at this “egregious overstep” and do more asshatery.

N0body ,

You obviously wouldn’t do it if Trump wins. Democrats aren’t going to storm the Capitol.

yeather ,

After, retribution hits against dems and biden for overstepping their power.

I’m struck by the similarities to Trump’s bible photo incident: Donald Trump photo op at St. John’s Church - Wikipedia

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung

This fuckin’ guy. Keep digging up Steve.

haunte ,

I know it’s his job to spin negatives into positives and attack Trumps opponents, but he just comes off as a particularly nasty internet troll every time he opens his mouth. Goebbels by way of 4chan.

I’m just exhausted at this point. Nothing he does phases me anymore. Just gotta say my piece at the ballot box and hope for the best

Samvega ,

I’m just exhausted at this point. Nothing he does phases me anymore.

Yup. There’s no point caring, he’s a broken record of hatred. Just move on.

socsa ,

Normalization of this shit is how the fascists get a foothold. In this very story we see that the victim is not pressing charges because she is afraid of MAGAfash. The absolute minimum thing you can do is stay angry. Enjoy passive opposition while it is still an option.

chiliedogg ,

I’m actually impressed a former president currently running for reelection managed to fuck up pandering to the military so bad the Army called him out for it.

foggy ,

I’m so glad he pissed off the army before trying to stage his second coup.

Good luck asshat.

homesweethomeMrL ,

He pissed off the 60% of the army who already knew what a disgusting failure of a human he is.

qooqie ,

I don’t really have much hope for this. People have short memories

PugJesus ,

The US military is aggressively non-political. Don’t count on them to do anything as long as the civilian institutions do nothing.

Telodzrum ,

Which kinda sucks, but it’s actually a good thing.

He’s gonna try having the police arrest the military

Honestly, those families of fallen soldiers can go fuck themselves. They dishonor the memory of their children that made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. They don’t get to invite Trump to wipe his ass all over the graves of soldiers. Their children deserve respect, but they deserve scorn.

stoly ,

This was my thought as well. Can you really have loved your family member if you sell them cheaply to be used as political fodder? Is that what their memory is worth to you?

This is the same level of disaffection that you saw from the pa firefighter widow who wouldn’t accept a phone call from Biden.

theuniqueone ,

Those children made " the ultimate sacrifice " to expand and maintain American imperialism and violence worldwide. Just because we hate trump there is no reason to defend the American empire and its willing enforcers.

themeatbridge ,

Ok, I’m not going to debate that with you. I don’t know these kids, their motivations, their missions, or how they lived and died. I’m talking about every body laid to rest in Arlington, and far too many that still lay where they fell, all of the soldiers, living and dead, are deserving of a certain modicum of reapect. They deserve to not be used as props in a campaign photo. Their families deserve to not see their tombstones used as an arm rest in a photo op.

    dupe comment probably from internet issue or something just letting u know

    themeatbridge ,

    Many thanks

    chickenf622 ,

    The army stated that they consider the matter closed according tovthe article. I doubt any legal action will come from this.

    stoly ,

    That’s not the point. Lots of people now see how tone deaf the entire campaign is.

    homesweethomeMrL ,

    I wish I could believe that.

    It’s a cult though.

    stoly ,

    It turns out that the police will absolutely rise up but the military is all about protecting and following the chain of command. I used to think as you do but I’ve since seen so many times when they have expelled the crazies. There’s no union protecting bad soldiers from consequences.

    atocci ,

    I’m pretty sure they’re saying his followers are a cult, not the Army. His followers will easily take the word of him and his campaign over the Army and Arlington National Cemetery.

    stoly ,

    I’ve reread the comment a few times and still think that they were talking about the army. I do see what you mean though.

    socsa ,

    Well, at least the brass at Joint Base Henderson Hall, one of the cushiest appointments in the service, located in one of the bluest zip codes in the US.

    iAmTheTot ,

    This event will change exactly 0 people’s minds at the ballot box.

    stoly ,

    You say that yet everyone except the “base” is fleeing. Trump is limited to down ballot voters and whackadoos.

    iAmTheTot ,

    Look, come election day, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong. I’m just not seeing any conservatives “fleeing”.

    stoly ,

    It’s all over the news. Republicans coming out in support of Harris, etc.

    fine_sandy_bottom ,

    It’s hard to know, but my feeling is that this is not a good look for trump.
