CNN’s Acosta Questions if Trump Is ‘Politicizing’ Soldiers Deaths by Visiting Arlington
Breitbart ^ | 08/26/2024 | Pam Key

CNN host Jim Acosta asked Monday on “Newsroom” if former President Donald Trump should be at Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath to mark the third anniversary of the attack on Abbey Gate.

Acosta said, “Former President Trump was at Arlington National Cemetery, where he marked the three-year anniversary of the bombing that killed 13 service members during the Afghanistan withdrawal. This is someone who, according to his own former chief of staff, said Americans who died in war are, ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ Trump denies that, although John Kelly confirms that Trump did say that. He more recently said a civilian award is, ‘better than the Medal of Honor.’ You’re a former Army Ranger. Is he politicizing these soldiers’ deaths? Should even be at Arlington National Cemetery if he’s going to make some politics out of this?”

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said, “Well, I also mourn the death of those 13 service members. Every death of a service member is a tragedy. At the same time, I mourn the deaths of the over 2,400 service members who died during the 20 years we were at war. And I just look at President Biden, under whose leadership we actually ended, and made the tough decision to end our nation’s longest war. It became very clear to me years ago that this war was not winnable through military means. Sitting here today, we are honoring the death of those who died in service to our country. And at the same time, we are not at war in Afghanistan. And that was the right decision by President Biden.”

Biden and Kamala were no-shows at Arlington. So they take out their frustration on Trump. Got it.

Who the hell is John Kelly? You need more one witness otherwise it’s hearsay. Not admissible.

I met an absolutely rabid Democrat woman recently at a political booth. I asked her why she didn’t like Trump. Her answers: 1) He hates women (”grab ‘em by the ...” and raped E Jean Carroll in the dressing room) and 2) Soldiers are suckers and losers.

She confirmed my opinion of Democrats.

Acosta the Breakfast Taco with jalapeños is a low I.Q. moron. The only reason CNN gave him a job is because he didn’t want to have to work for a living.

Side by side headlines on AOL.com:

"Biden mourns US service members killed in Kabul airport attack 3 years ago"

They know Trump scored points here, but he’s truly empathizing with the families, not doing it for points.

Dems are all about appearances. True connection to people is beyond their comprehension.

Dems call themselves compassionate but they have the faked compassion of narcissists.

Grind the Dems into the dirt and keep them there!

Jaime Acosta can go home to Mexico or whatever part of the decrepit Spanish Empire he came from where he can be puzzled by such silly Gringo emotions like “Patriotism” with all the other clueless thugs.

Jason Crow is a dishonorable human being. Unfortunately he is my congress creature. I do not recall giving up my oath to defend the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Obviously he has.

Were the Trump haters and MIC politicizing things by putting these soldiers in Arlington?

The Twitter Files alone should have been enough to depose PedoJoe.

The FBI goon squad working hand in hand with the Silicon Valley Oligarchs

He more recently said a civilian award is, ‘better than the Medal of Honor.’


Mr Acosta, Trump said it is better for the recipient to win the civilian award because he or she is not dead or badly shot up. Thing is, you know that, but you willingly spread the distortion.
