“Some veterans reacted with alarm to reports of an altercation between a member of Donald Trump’s entourage and a top official at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, with a retired Army general calling the incident ‘repugnant,’” USA Today reports.
“The incident occurred when a member of Trump’s team pushed his way into recording in a part of the cemetery, known as Section 60, where photography is prohibited.”
“Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency.”
Said Fred Wellman, a 22-year Army combat veteran: “Donald Trump has no right to use our most hallowed ground for his political aims. For a lot of us, and I’m not the only one, people are aptly furious.”
