Trump at Arlington National Cemetery: Disregard & Disrespect for our Fallen Soldiers

so friends Donald Trump disrespects soldiers and Veterans he desecrates the Hallowed Ground on which they're buried and in the process he disregards the law let's talk about that because Justice matters [Music] hey all Glen kerser here so friends over the past week I'm sure you saw the stories about Donald Trump going to Arlington National Cemetery where our fallen soldiers are buried turning the trip into a campaign video that was posted on Tik Tok while at Arlington Trump campaign employees mistreated quote pushed aside an employee of the cemetery who was simply trying to enforce the regulations prohibiting political activity on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery let's turn to the new reporting first headline from CNN US Army rebukes Trump campaign for incident at Arlington National cemetery and that article Begins the US Army issued a stark rebuke of former president Donald Trump's presidential campaign over the incident on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery saying in a statement on Thursday that participants in the ceremony were made aware of federal laws regarding political activity at the cemetery and abruptly pushed aside an employee of the cemetery quote participants in the August 26th ceremony and the subsequent section 60 visit were made aware of federal laws Army regulations and DOD policies which clearly prohibit political activities on Cemetery grounds ANC Arlington National Cemetery employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules was abruptly pushed aside the my spokesperson said in the statement on Thursday and friends before I continue with the article you should know that after Trump and his campaign went to Arlington National Cemetery and had this encounter with the cemeter employee indeed quote pushed her aside while she was trying to tell them about the rules the regulations and the laws prohibiting political activity at the cemetery after that the Trump campaign issued a statement saying that This Woman This Cemetery employee was acting improperly and indeed had a quote mental health episode so yes just demeaned mocked even somebody who was trying to tell them the law prohibits you from engaging in this kind of political activity at Arlington National Cemetery all my editorial comment back to the article quote this incident was unfortunate and it is also unfortunate that thec employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked ANC is a National Shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation's Fallen deserve the statement said so friends let's talk about some of the Fallout as a result of what Donald Trump and his campaign staff members did at Arlington National Cemetery first of all the reporting about an employee a woman who works at the cemetery who was trying to tell Trump and his campaign staff political Act activity is not permitted it's against the rules the regulations and indeed it violates federal law the code of federal regulations and she was quote pushed aside first of all if this was a physical pushing aside that could be an assault we would have to see more reporting on it and I don't think we will for reasons I'll explain in a minute but an assault or a battery more precisely is an unconsented to touching if you push somebody even if you don't injure them if it was an unconsented to touching that's an assault more precisely it's a battery the unlawful touching of another person so might this woman have a valid complaint that she could file might this Cemetery employee who was simply professionally trying to explain to Trump and Company why they couldn't do what they appeared to be doing there on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery might a crime have been committed against her well we'll probably never know you know why this reporting from NBC News the woman who works at the cemetery and filed an incident report has declined to press charges the New York Times reported on Wednesday citing military officials according to the report which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News the woman feared retaliation from Trump's followers so even if whatever the Trump staffers did to that Arlington National Cemetery employee who was trying to do her job whatever they did if it constituted an assault or a battery she was not not going to insist that charges be pressed why because she feared retaliation from Trump's supporters what's some of the other Fallout well as I mentioned um the Trump campaign apparently posted on Tik Tok What was inarguably a campaign video here is the reporting again from CNN a video of the visit posted by the Trump campaign on Tik Tok showed video of the former president walking through Arlington and visiting grav sites with audio of him criticizing the Biden Administration and friends there you see some pictures of Donald Trump with the thumbs up and the big grin right that's certainly appropriate while standing in front of the headstone of Fallen Soldiers write the thumbs up and the big grin how about some sality sport but do you see that other headstone kind of off to the left there I've I've blurred out the information on The Headstone because I didn't want to publicize the name of that particular fallen soldier and here's why here's some more reporting this from The New York Times Trump videos at Arlington stir Mo Fallout after gravite visit the family of a Green Beret buried there expressed concern about videos and photos taken by his grave and then the New York Times also reiterates what we discussed earlier that a cemetery employee declined to press charges after an altercation with the Trump team fearing retribution can you imagine being the family member of that fallen soldier that Green Beret whose headstone appeared without their consent in a tick tock video for Donald Trump's campaign in how many ways can Donald Trump demean soldiers I mean he infamously called them suckers and losers those members of the military and Veterans who have watched what Donald Trump has said and has done to our military members and our veterans and our fallen heroes so the chickens are coming home to roost and Donald Trump I have to believe will be crushed come November 5th at the polls and that is exactly what America needs because Justice matters friends as always please stay safe please stay tuned and I look forward to talking with you all again tomorrow [Music]
