2/ You can’t have your photo crew take photos even if one family consents.
That’s because other graves are included in those photos. And those families haven’t given permission.
More importantly, grieving families shouldn’t feel pressured by powerful people to give consent.
3/ Section 60 is noteworthy because the graves are those of troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. People visiting those graves aren’t distant relatives.
It’s moms and dads and wives and husbands and kids and friends and fellow troops. The grief is still very present.
4/ The staff at Arlington aren’t being political when they prevent photo crews from taking unauthorized photos.
The staff is being apolitical.
They’re being professional.
They’re upholding the dignity of Arlington.
5/5 I have been to Arlington many times and I have never seen someone grinning and giving a thumbs up for a photo.
I’ve never seen it because it’s not something you do at Arlington if you know anything about the place, and the men and women who are buried there.
The plot to destroy Donald Trump is in full swing. The Pennsylvania rally shooting, the killing of an attendee, and the assassination attempt were just the prelude to an upcoming attack.

I visited Arlington as a young man and felt the sheer solemnity and weight of the place the moment I got there. It’s not a place for politics, and if you view it as such, you are the problem, especially if you’ve seen the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the miles of gravestones.
Trump was invited to #ArlingtonNationalCemetery by some of the families. Great.
He should have gone there and especially to Section 60 without cameras, without campaign staff, & without turning it into a political photo op. Period.
It's not confusing.
This is wrong. It's also

My daughter turned 50 last month. I took her to Washington DC and to Arlington Cemetery when she was five years old. I can remember walking up that walkway with her and stopping and reading all the plaques in the semi circle going up to President Kennedy's grave. We were probably

It looks to me like those families standing with trump were extremely disrespectful to their own loved 1 and all others in that area. Who behaves like that, grinning and sticking thumbs up while visiting a grave. Its disgusting to use a deceased soldier for a photo op.
There's a post from a family member who invited Trump, insisting Trump broke no rules.
The twitter profile of that posting account identifies her as MAGA.
MAGA is a cult that scorns rules, laws, and protocols. No matter how sacred and solemn.
That, is a great post! Clear and to the point.
Can I tag this video onto you post. It's not an easy watch, but it is an important one and it needs to be shared widely - even bigly. Trump is a disgrace

I hope he gets sued by all the families that didn’t give their permission to have their loved ones graves photographed.
There are rules. This is another example of him considering himself above the rules/laws.

ALL parties responsible for this should be punished and the film and pics immediately surrendered or seized and destroyed. ACCOUNTABILITY 
*Confusing*...?
There are rules (and norms).....
....those rules and norms were broken....
....simple
....if they broke rules and there is a remedy...
....sue them all.... back to the Dark Ages....

Pretty cool those families had a direct line to Trump so they could call and ask his permission to use their loved ones corpses as political props.
It goes without saying that the Donald would NEVER have gone to the sacred grounds of Arlington Cemetery had he not been able to make a filmed campaign event with multiple cameras taking videos and pics of this despicable criminal trying to look like a commander.
If Trump gets re-elected, he'll be selling graves sites at Arlington National Cemetery. He's the worst human in captivity.

Where is the accountability for this despicable act of disrespect to our military and their families!
So based on what you said if true how did the camera crew get in there and follow them around? He was literally walking with some of the heads of the cemetery….
A Russian asset broke into Arlington and sent pictures back to Moscow.

I'm sure it's a felony and he'll get charged and convicted and put in prison prior to November.
It appears not all agree with you and
from what Im hearing
is that not showing up and no representation was way worse.
It's a bigger scandal that Biden or Harris couldn't be bothered to honor the fallen
Absolutely shameful what Trump did, how does he keep getting away with this ?
Ben, you are such a lying journalismeer. Have some integrity and mention how MANY presidents including our current have had their photos taken in Arlington and some have used those photos in campaign ads.

Well well well
Joe Biden literally did a campaign ad at the graves in Arlington in 2020
Media and the Pentagon didn't even care x.com/JoeBiden/statu…

Now, here is more controversy. Biden and Harris got the 13 soldiers killed. They couldn't respect them and show up.

Here is the Biden 2020 campaign putting out a Memorial Day ad (which doesn’t attack Trump) in May 2020, featuring Biden standing at a grave in Section 60 in Arlington. The veteran whose grave it is as well as at least one other gravesite are identifiable.

Many presidents have gone and had photos taken there. You are making stuff up.
Amazing all the leftist sycophants in the comments.
You people are shameless and gross. All you do is to denigrate and destroy -- zero positivity, zero support, zero love of country.
Trump had permission to bring a photographer. Love how you neglected that fact

I am shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that the Arlington National Cemetery that tore down a memorial considered offensive by 21st century woke standards is operated by a bunch of raging boilerplate shitlibs

Another issue courtesy of democrats. They really don't care about Americans.
But Trump doesn't have to follow rules. He's a rich kid. One contemptuous example which played out to the utmost aggrandisment was son-in-law who was ordered top security clearance. #trumpcrimefamily #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #Trump2024Vance
From a logical standpoint, it is possible the Harris-Walz campaign is avoiding the media on purpose. Trump’s team seems to be baiting them into overexposure on legacy media just to turn around and attack that same media, claiming bias.
The real aim? To degrade our trusted media
