Legacy media have found their latest hoax to run about Donald Trump, and this time it’s to convince you that he hates America’s fallen troops.
The entire non-troversy began earlier this week, when anti-truth NPR ran an anonymously sourced article with claims that members of Trump’s team “had a verbal and physical altercation” with an Arlington National Cemetery official during the former president’s Monday visit. Trump was there at the request of Gold Star families whose loved ones were killed during President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal three years ago this week.
Rather than probe why both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris only issued meaningless statements and did not visit Arlington to honor the troops who died on their watch, NPR hack-tivists Quil Lawrence and Tom Bowman apparently felt it was their job to run interference for their Democrat allies’ negligence by making Trump’s Arlington visit appear problematic.
The anonymous source cited by the authors allegedly claimed the aforementioned Arlington official “tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried” and that cemetery staff “had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.” The unidentified official further contended members of Trump’s campaign “verbally abused and pushed the official aside.”
The authors attempted to paint the Trump team’s efforts to photograph the commemorations as an “election-related” campaign activity that violates federal law. Funny how neither bothered
