Raskin asks Army for incident report, briefing on Trump’s Arlington cemetery incident
The Hill ^ | 08/31/2024

Posted on 08/31/2024 11:59:46 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked the U.S. Army in a letter Friday for a full report and a briefing on former President Trump’s visit to Arlington cemetery, after reports of a confrontation between his staff and cemetery officials surfaced.

Raskin, the ranking member on the House Oversight Commitee, sent the letter, obtained by The Hill, to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth. The lawmaker asked her to provide a report on the incident, including whether the former president’s staff “violated federal law or Cemetery rules and whether the Trump campaign informed the families of servicemembers buried at the Cemetery that their gravestones would be used in Mr. Trump’s political campaign ads.”

During the 2020 election in September of 2020. Joe Biden and Dr Jill made a photo op stop at the Pennsylvania sight of the 911 plane that was forced down by patriots after a hijacking. So you are a hypocrite little Jamie some people are frogs your a lowly toad!

Wasting government funds and employee time—Raskin was a red diaper doper baby. It's in his blood.

All I know if that Trump leaped from the back of the limo, seized control of the steering wheel and shouted, “I’m going to kill Biden!” but fortunately the Secret Service was able to regain control of the situation and calm him down.

Ratskin wants to stir up trouble for the National Park Service, and Arlington staff. The military oversees the cemetery, but it belongs to the National Park Service. Obviously the little to-do that occurred while Trump was there was quietly resolved because the only one who violated anyone’s rights was the civilian who had the temper tantrum. But hey, if Ratskin wants to pursue and end up prosecuting one of his own Trump haters, so be it.

Democrats and democrat voters should be ashamed

This is the Democrat presidential campaign. This is it

Whatever dip was they end up putting in as presidential candidate with 2 month to go.

The families of the 13 military killed in the Afghanistan Biden/Harris surrender and giveaway of Bagram air base to our enemies, asked Trump to attend Arlington ceremony with them on the anniversary memorial

Biden/Harris have not acknowledged nor ever mentioned any of their names, these people that were killed because of Biden, Never contacted the families but also Biden said in the debate that no American soldier had been killed during his presidency

This stupid wing nut complaint is unfounded yet propagandized by Biden/Harris or Harris now

It’s the entire campaign

Leve these families alone!!!

Statement from Senator Tom Cotton on President Trump’s Visit to Arlington National Cemetary

“I commend President Trump for accepting the invitation of the Gold Star families to join them at Arlington National Cemetery to honor their loved ones who died during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The families had every right to invite whomever they wanted to commemorate this solemn anniversary, just as President Trump and his aides had every right to accept their invitation; neither the families nor President Trump violated cemetery regulations or policies. The real scandal here isn’t that the families invited President Trump or that he accepted their invitation, and it’s not even that political apparatchiks working for the incompetent secretary of the Army disrespected the wishes of these Gold Star families. The real scandal is that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden condemned thirteen brave American troops to death and didn’t even have the decency to call or meet with the Gold Star families to express their condolences. Kamala Harris should never be our military’s commander-in-chief.” - Senator Tom Cotton, veteran of the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and author of Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery

Paid for by Donald J. Trump for President 2024, In

"Wasting government funds and employee time—Raskin was a red diaper doper baby. It's in his blood."

You don't have to wonder much why his 25 year old son Tommy, a law student at Harvard, committed suicide on the last day of 2020. And then poor Ratskin, on the day after he buried his son, had his life threatened by those horrible Trump supporters in a coup attempt on January 6, 2021.

Raskin is a snippy little ankle biting homo. He should stay in his lane, and let the adults do what they do best...save the country.
Trump was being 100% Presidential, while your pResident was lying on the beach, and your VP was campaigning.
Things are going to change after November.

Has Rep. Raskin asked the D.O.D. for an incident report briefing on the 13 deaths associated with the Afghanistan withdrawal ‘incident’?
