Vance stated when requested concerning the scandal:
The altercation at Arlington Cemetery is the media making a story the place I don’t actually assume there may be one. There’s a verifiable proof that the marketing campaign was allowed to have a photographer there. They had been invited to have a photographer there. There may be verifiable proof that the households of those poor individuals who had their family members died three years in the past at Abbey Highway, excuse me, Abby Gate, these 13 Individuals, numerous them had been there with the president.
He invited him to be there and assist them. That’s not an insult to the reminiscences of their family members. They needed Donald Trump there. Thank god we’ve a president that stands with our veterans as a substitute of 1 that runs away from them. It’s superb to me that you’ve got, apparently, anyone at Arlington Cemetery, some employees member had a little bit disagreement with anyone and the media has turned this right into a nationwide information story. You already know what I feel our veterans care extra about? That Kamala Harris’s VP lied about his army service.
Arlington Nationwide Cemetery confirmed that Trump broke the regulation. Vance managed to confuse Abbey Highway, the place the Beatles recorded albums, and Abbey Gate, the place 13 troopers died whereas leaving Afghanistan. These deaths had been set into movement as a result of of Trump’s cope with the Taliban that compelled the US in a foreign country.
Veterans do care about Trump utilizing the sacred floor of Arlington Nationwide Cemetery for a marketing campaign stunt, as a result of Trump has constantly disrespected veterans and those that have served and misplaced their lives.
JD Vance made issues worse by attempting accountable the media for a scandal that Trump created. Vance made positive that the Arlington story wouldn’t be going away any time quickly.
