Trump claims Arlington cemetery scandal was fabricated by Harris

Donald Trump recently claimed that the Arlington National Cemetery incident was fabricated by Kamala Harris, asserting that there was no conflict during his visit. This statement came after reports surfaced about a member of his campaign staff verbally abusing and pushing aside a cemetery official who was trying to enforce rules against filming in a sensitive area. The Army confirmed that an employee was indeed pushed aside but noted that the employee chose not to press charges. Trump's comments were made on Truth Social, where he accused Harris of creating a false narrative to distract from the Biden administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which he labeled as a significant failure. JD Vance, a supporter of Trump, echoed these sentiments, criticizing Harris for not investigating the incident and defending Trump's actions at the cemetery. Both Trump and Harris were present to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate terrorist attack, which resulted in the deaths of 13 American troops and numerous Afghan civilians. Harris emphasized her commitment to honoring the service of troops and their families, while Trump used the opportunity to attack his political opponents, framing the incident as part of a broader narrative of incompetence within the current administration.
