Adam Kinzinger weighs in on the Arlington Cemetery incident

Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini)
Of course. Donald Trump despises the military and has no respect for them.

The fact that he’s convinced some of them of the opposite is just, sad and pathetic.

The Army went on the record saying Trump campaign staff disobeyed the rules for Arlington and assaulted a civilian Army employee to take campaign pics in Section 60 where our GWOT fallen are buried! - Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery

Who was the speaker at the convention who listed the awful things Trump said about military members?
I loved the way he listed them. And then said
Show some respect

Ruben
is the son of immigrants who was raised by a single mom on a secretary’s pay alongside his three sisters. Growing up, he worked whatever job he could find to help support his family— at a pizza joint, construction sites, and a meatpacking plant — before earning a spot at Harvard. Ruben deployed to Iraq in 2005 where his company saw some of the highest casualties of the war. A Marine combat veteran, Ruben was elected to the Arizona State House in 2010 and the U.S. House in 2014 where he has served as a voice for Arizona’s veterans, hardworking families, and seniors for over a decade. Ruben is married and lives in South Phoenix with his wife Sydney, son Michael and daughter Isla.

Snip...

Ruben deployed to Iraq as a United States Marine Infantryman in 2005 where his company saw some of the hardest combat and the heaviest casualties of the Iraq War, losing 22 Marines and a Navy Corpsman in eight months.

That Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent has no respect for. He detests everyone who doesn’t bow, yield, and kneel at his feet. Such an entitled prick.

Trump’s campaign spokesman blames cemetery staff: “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”. Outrageous. TSF is a private citizen who with his unauthorized entourage was violating sacred ground. He should have been arrested.

He's a piece of work. A person DOING THEIR JOB enforcing the rules had a "mental health episode"?
What a punk that Cheung is.

This has to stop somewhere. Attempted coup? No problem. Try to steal votes? No problem. Convicted felon? Still free. Lie, cheat, and steal every damn day? Sure. Let it stop here.
