Trump Campaign Turns Fire on Army Leadership ‘Hacks’ After Arlington Fiasco
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign manager called the staff at the Secretary of the Army’s office “hacks” Thursday amid continuing fallout from his disastrous appearance at Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week.
Political campaign activity is banned at the cemetery, including filming and photography, but Trump’s team tried to gather promotional footage for the Republican standard bearer at a Monday appearance alongside Gold Star families.
Trump staffers reportedly got into a verbal and physical altercation with a staffer at the cemetery who tried to stop them from illegally filming and taking photographs in Section 60, an area largely reserved for graves of soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
