Right on schedule, Derpy shows up and attempts to flip the script.I don't get it. Obviously Trump was present at the wreath ceremony. There were cameras there to record the event as he participated in it. As we all know, currently he's not a public official and is running for political office.
How does this comport with the purported restriction against photography/filming and/or political purposes when it was obviously allowed during the ceremony?
I think someone with too much self importance got too far out over their skis and this "incident" is now being used for political purposes against Trump.
Which violates Federal law.
"Trump is teh REAL victim here!"
Yet another attempt to get Democrats to "play defense".
Weird.
The "cameras were there" because they were brought into a "no photography" (recent burials) area by the Trump campaign staff, not park officials.
The 3rd Infantry Division ('The Old Guard') is tasked with maintaining order and decorum at Arlington National Cemetery. When Trump's goons started desecrating gravesites (setting up tripods and standing directly atop recently buried bodies (all for "good optics"), the Old Guard should have been deployed to remove the photo opportunists.
Can you imagine recently burying a loved one and finding Trump campaign photographers standing on top of your deceased loved one's grave?
If you vote for Donald J Trump, you dishonor any service member who died in the service for their country.
