Far-left Axios reported the filing of an “incident” at Arlington National Cemetary. It concerns Donald Trump’s visit to honor the 13 soldiers murdered at Abbey Gate in Kabul. The deceased’s parents invited the former president.
The Trump campaign denies claims made in an NPR report that two aides “had a verbal and physical altercation” with a cemetery official. The person blocked GOP staffers. He said they were banned from “filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried.”
The campaign stated it was “granted access to have a photographer” at the cemetery for Monday’s event.
After allegedly speaking with an anonymous cemetery official, NPR said the former president’s staff weren’t allowed to have a photographer. [NPR is a Democrat Party mouthpiece getting US tax dollars to propagandize us.]
Donald Trump was the only former or current president to honor these men and women on the third anniversary. Any time Trump looks good, the left jumps on it to make him look bad.
There is no greater sacrifice than giving one’s life in defense of our country. It was my solemn privilege to stand alongside the family of Staff Sgt.

THE PARTISAN, DISRESPECTFUL ATTACK ON DONALD TRUMP
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement that there “was no physical altercation as described.”
“The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises. And for whatever reason, an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.”
Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita responded in an emailed statement. He said the former president was attending at the invitation of the Abbey Gate Gold Star families.
“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,” LaCivita said.
If necessary, the Trump team will release all the footage, but not to Axios.
Trump is honoring the soldiers lost at Abbey Gate, speaking to families of the fallen like Ryan Knauss who couldn’t be there, via phone.
Biden is on the beach.
Kamala is hiding.
Horrific betrayal of these soldiers’ memories by this administration.

Senile little girl fondling demented sniffy Joe Biden and the tramp Commie-la Harris were not at the ceremony because THEY WERE NOT INVITED. It was a private ceremony and the families of the fallen soldiers did not want those two piles of Adamschitt anywhere near their fallen military members. The families invited Trump because they knew he would be respectful and honor the service of their fallen heroes. Sniffy Joe and Commie-la Harris have yet to say the names of these 13 military members who were killed because of their total incompetence, nor do they ever mention the names of those who have been raped and or murdered by the illegal alien invaders they let come freely into the country, or even communicate with their families. What hate filled cowards.
Given biased NPR’s howling, Trump’s honoring of those heroes and their families, while Harris and Biden were literally AWOL, must have really hit the mark.
I watched the complete ceremony, only shown on FOX, and Donald Trump showed complete respect for the brave soldiers who were killed by the Biden/Harris administrations incompetence, and complete respect to the families of these soldiers. It was very solemn and dignified ceremony. Trump acted Presidential, unlike Biden who is on vacation again, and Harris who is hiding like Biden did in 2020. Neither Biden or Harris made a comment on the 3rd anniversary of this horrific event, which didn’t surprise me. Biden probably doesn’t remember that day because of his diminished mental capacity, and Harris is nothing more than an ignorant, lying Marxist who is pretending that she had no say in the events of that day.
