    It gets better. To prove that there was no altercation, the Trump campaign have promised to release video footage.

    These people are terminally stupid. Every single one of them.

      The Trump campaign declined to make that footage immediately available.

      Yeah, that’s not coming out.

        Oh, for sure. But the point is, the whole altercation supposedly occurred because they were trying to film in a place where its illegal to film.

        Why the fuck would you then claim to have video footage of that???

            From the NPR article linked above

            “Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign,” according to the statement. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

            I don’t know the details of that, but presumably because it would be considered disrespectful.
