Fact Check: Hollywood Star Jeffrey Wright Falsely Claims Trump Started a Fight at Arlington National Cemetery
Breitbart ^ | 08/29/2024 | David Ng

Posted on 08/29/2024 9:20:17 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Claim: MGM’s James Bond star Jeffrey Wright has claimed former President Donald Trump started a fight at Arlington National Cemetery this week while the current Republican presidential nominee was attending a memorial service to honor the 13 American service members who were killed during the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

Verdict: False. Former President Donald Trump didn’t start a fight at Arlington.

Jeffrey Wright’s accusation appears to stem from an incorrect reading of an NPR report alleging Trump campaign staff got into an “altercation” with a cemetery official who prevented them from taking photographs in an off-limits section.

NPR isn’t even trying to hide their support of Harris. Every election article on their website is anti-Trump or pro-Harris. Same at PBS website.
Defund NPR/PBS!

I have attended several Wreath Laying ceremonies at Arlington with The American Legion and VFW - everyone is taking pictures. Now with cell phone cameras it is impossible to control.

There is nothing out of bounds for these people.

There was a supreme court justice (I think) who said something like “freedom of speech doesn’t include yelling fire in a crowded theater.”

But we’re way, way past that now.

I read that story and thought it seems off. Now I know why.

The first time last night PBS interviewed a person that was positive for President Trump. Usually they interview a Bennie Thompson type vilifying Trump.

What if Corn Pop wasn’t really a bad dude? What if Corn Pop was a good guy who saw a creepy weirdo trying to mess with kids at a public swimming pool?

I heard he grabbed the steering wheel of one of the maintenance vehicles and smashed into the Unknown Tomb.

Just ask whats-her-name, Cassidy. The brother in law of her friend cousin was there the day afterward and saw the whole thing.

There are special rules for Area 60, which provide that only cemetery members are authorized to take photos or video there. Also, no area of Arlington National Cemetery is to be used for political purposes or as a sign of endorsement of any organization. Trump used footage from his visit in a campaign ad.

This Jeffrey Wright is nowhere near a "star". If not for a minor, easily-replaceable, supporting role in one James Bond movie, no one would even recognize a photo of him.

His agent must be telling him to disparage Trump in order to stir some controversy to maybe get a role in some Leftist pukumentary.

One wonders how many Hollywood children were saved from abuse when the Hollywood types were distracted by Trump over this.

Check Jeffy's basement!
