Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter concerning Monday’s events. It came a day after NPR reported, citing a source with knowledge of the incident, that two Trump campaign staff members “verbally abused and pushed” aside a cemetery official who tried to stop them from filming and photographing in Section 60, the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Then they claim that there was no altercation, no pushing, and the cemetery official was having a mental health crisis anyway - which will sounds very Narcissist’s Prayer of them.

    Sound very Soviet to me. “You didn’t see any graphite on the roof because it isn’t there… This man is delusional, take him to infirmary”

    The republicans learn from their masters well.
