Cheung also said they were granted access to have a photographer present, & pointed to a statement from Gold Star family members [who don’t have the authority to grant access] that invited #Trump to attend the ceremony.
The campaign also released a TikTok video that included video footage from #Section60, including a smiling Trump flashing a thumbs up w/family members at the gravesites. But other tombstones are visible in the picture,

"Two #NPR reporters — Quil Lawrence and Tom Bowman — went to work... and learned two things, one of them stunning.
They reported a) no one except cemetery staff is allowed to take pictures or shoot video in #Section60, and b) a woman staffer from #Arlington who tried to enforce those rules said she was physically confronted by #Trump campaign staffers and shoved aside during the altercation."

#Trump’s fmr aides have said he similarly disparaged #ServiceMembers in private….Ret Gen #MarkMilley, fmr chair of the #JointChiefs, said Trump responded to appearing w/a wounded #veteran by saying, “No one wants to see that.” His fmr chief of staff, #JohnKelly, said Trump called US #Marines buried at cemeteries in France “suckers” & “losers.”…Kelly has also said Trump told him during a previous visit to #Section60 at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”

“That’s not the time or place for it,” said Karen Meredith, a #VoteVets board member whose son, 1st Lt. Ken Ballard, is buried in the second row of #Section60. “They had to #bully themselves into this thing. The lack of #respect for the rules or the norms or the #laws at #Arlington — there’s just no respect.”

…Other #veterans & bereaved families viewed #Trump’s visit as #disrespectful to a sacred space that also belongs to them & to the nation. #Section60 is a place where young widows can be seem trimming grass w/hand scissors, sharing comfort w/other #GoldStarFamilies, & decorating graves w/flowers & beads. Visitors have long taken graveside photographs there, & sitting presidents have visited before, but not as part of #campaign events.

In addition to the #campaign’s TikTok video, #Trump posed for photos on Monday at the graveside of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee w/her family [in #Section60], including 1 where he is giving a thumbs-up & others are smiling. Eaton called the gesture “appalling.”
The campaign also defended itself w/a joint statement from the 2 injured Marines who appeared w/Trump & the families of some of the #ServiceMembers killed, saying they wanted Trump & his cameras there [irrelevant & illegal]. -

…Co-campaign manager #ChrisLaCivita, who was present Monday along w/other #campaign employees, in a statement called the #cemetery employee “a despicable individual” who “does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.” [mother f⁕⚠︎er!!] LaCivita posted video on X on Mon of #Trump laying flowers at the grave of Staff Sgt.

The press then returned to a holding area, specifically instructed that reporters & cameras would not accompany #Trump & bereaved families to #Section60.
But Trump ofcls said they did not view the #campaign’s own photographer & videographer [who weren’t allowed to be anywhere there as campaign staff in the first place] as subject to the same restrictions, so they continued on to Section 60. Their arrival there prompted the standoff w/the #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee over the rules.

Reporters & photographers could follow #Trump for a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns, but not to the 14-acre plot where #veterans from recent wars are buried, known as #Section60. The media was kept away, unable to see the altercation —or anything else, for that matter— during that part of his visit.
The 1st part went according to plan. W/full media coverage, Trump & 2 injured Marines…laid a wreath at the tomb…dedicated to deceased #US troops whose remains have not been ID’ed or recovered.

“What was abundantly clear cut was: #Section60, no photos & no video,” the #defense official said.
A person familiar w/the matter told NPR, which 1st reported the incident, that the #Trump campaign staff pushed & verbally attacked a #cemetery ofcl who tried to stop them from taking photos & videos in Section 60.…Trump campaign comms dir #StevenCheung said that…the campaign was…“prepared to release footage” to defend against “defamatory claims.”
[they haven’t, probably bc it doesn’t exist] -

#US #Defense ofcls said a confrontation occurred during the event in which a #cemetery staff member warned people employed by the #Trump campaign that while they were permitted to take photos & videos in the cemetery, they could not do so in #Section60, the final resting place for many US #ServiceMembers who were killed in recent conflicts….Guidance was issued to the campaign both before the event & again once they were on-site due to #legal restrictions on #campaign-related activities there….
