A progressive veterans group went after “disgusting” Donald Trump this past week following the GOP nominee’s controversial stop at Arlington National Cemetery that included campaign staffers’ altercation with cemetery officials.
“Now, maybe the greatest insult of all, turning a military cemetery visit into a political stunt with cameras in tow,” said a narrator in a scathing ad from political action committee VoteVets.
The ad arrives after an Arlington official, during Trump’s visit to the cemetery at the invitation of some family members of military service members killed in the 2021 Kabul airport attack, was allegedly “pushed” aside by campaign staffers after informing them not to film part of the cemetery where recently fallen U.S. troops were buried.
Federal law prohibits “political campaign or election-related activities” within Army National Military Cemeteries, according to a statement from the cemetery.

Trump’s on the run, panicked as his insults against those who serve catch up with him.
From mocking the wounded to turning military cemeteries into political stunts, he disrespects everything we stand for.
We’re making sure no Servicemember EVER has to salute him as Commander in Chief again.

I get that many veterans vote R without even thinking about it, but it's time they realize that Chump has no honor and he will never be one of them. He certainly doesn't deserve to go back to the White House ever again.
and we will hear SOMETHING on Monday.
