The Trump campaign reportedly is "weighing options" on whether to release video footage of an altercation with Arlington National Cemetery officials
Mainstream media reported two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a
verbal and physical altercation
with a cemetery official during a visit by the former president on Monday.
The Republican presidential nominee had been invited to Arlington by some of the Gold Star families of the 13 service members killed in the Kabul airport bombing exactly three years earlier
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung disputed the report, saying:
There was no physical altercation as described and we are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made
Axios reported Thursday that the Republican presidential nominee's campaign is "weighing options" on whether to release footage of the visit.
Trump's campaign had contacted military officials about visiting Arlington to mark the third anniversary of the Islamic State bombing during the evacuation from Afghanistan, The Washington Post reported
Federal law prohibits election-related activities at military cemeteries.
Upon Trump's arrival at the cemetery, a cemetery worker reportedly confronted former president's team to enforce the rules.
Trump's team was told that
He could come in his personal capacity and bring personal aides, but not campaign staff. The Post reported.
NPR reported that when a cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staffers from filming and photographing in an area where service members are buried, the Trump staff "verbally abused and pushed the official aside."
The New York Times reported that a cemetery worker who confronted Trump aides filed an incident report but won't press charges because she fears retaliation from Trump supporters.
A Pentagon official told The Associated Press the Trump campaign was warned not to take photos in Section 60, the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A source told NPR that Arlington officials had made clear only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs in Section 60.
The Trump campaign says it had permission for a photographer

During the hearing Acting Director Rowe said it was “unfair persecution” to relieve officials who were responsible for the breakdown of security at the Trump Butler rally where President Trump was shot and another man was murdered.
Senator Hawley >Is that the person who is in charge of the interoperability of radio frequencies between local law enforcement and secret service? Has that person been relieved of duty?
Acting Director Rowe >No, Senator, because interoperability is a challenge, is a greater challenge than just one person. On that day, we had a counterpart system. It failed spectacularly.
Senator Hawley >As the person who decided, who made the decision to send Donald Trump onto stage knowing that you had a security situation, has that person been relieved of duty?
Acting Director Rowe >No, sir, they haven’t.
Senator Hawley >Has the person who decided not to pull the former President off of stage when you knew that, in your words, the locals were working a serious security situation, has that person been relieved of duty?
Acting Director Rowe >No, sir, they haven’t.
Senator Hawley >Has the person who decided not to pull the former President off of stage when you knew that, in your words, the locals were working a serious security situation, has that person been relieved of duty?
Acting Director Rowe >No, sir. Again, I refer you back to my original answer that we are investigating this through a mission assurance As opposed to zeroing in on one or two individuals.
Senator Hawley >What more do you need to investigate to know what the decision-making process was? What more do you need to investigate to know that there were critical enough failures that some individuals ought to be held accountable? What more do you need to know?
Acting Director Rowe >What I need to know is exactly what happened, and I need my investigators to do their job, and I cannot- A lot of people didn’t do their jobs. I cannot put my thumb on the scale.
Senator Hawley >Otherwise- What do you mean put your thumb on the scale?
Acting Director Rowe >You’re asking me, Senator, to completely make a rush to judgment about somebody failing. I acknowledge this was a failure of the secret service.
Senator Hawley >Is it not prima facia that somebody has failed? The former president was shot.
Acting Director Rowe >Sir, this could have been our Texas schoolbook depository. I have lost sleep over that for the last 17 days, just like you have.
Senator Hawley >Then fire somebody to hold them accountable.
Acting Director Rowe >I will tell you, Senator, that I will not rush to judgment, that people will be held accountable, and I will do so with integrity and not rush to judgment and put people unfairly persecuted.
Senator Hawley >I can’t believe that you are… Unfairly persecuted! We got people who are dead!

You can paint the picture based solely on the questions asked.
Be vigilant today and expect a major false flag.
Does anyone find it to be a coincidence there is always a terrorist attack when bad news breaks for the D's?
What is that called?
Military relevant how?
BO could not and would not allow the military to destroy ISIS - why?
How was ISIS formed?
When?
How has POTUS made such progress in the short time he's been President?

Hello GAW Tribe...
Though we all have gathered here from different places, different races, different religions...
One factor I've witnessed close to my 6 decades on Mother Earth is that one's family is truly Everything...
In this life, and the next.
As a Minister for the past 26 years.. This month I celebrated this decision once again.
Many that I've known in our Church Tribe appreciate ' family ' where ever it, and they happen to be.
Wither by blood, work, friends one can find Family, or their collective Tribes as I have recently been calling them.
I share all this cause today is a special day in what's left of my Family Tribe..
Only my beloved Mother, 2 older brothers and their family is what is left here on earth.
As a son, it's never, ever easy to lose a Father. I speak, share that life with him was difficult at times due to his issues with drugs, alcohol.
All within my family had been abused by him, mostly emotional and thankfully limited physical abuse.
He has been fully forgiven.
Not only hurt people, hurt people they also bleed upon their Loved ones thru themselves being victims of similar unhealthy means to cope with life.
Though, growing up my father and I often butted heads. Unsure where I got my resolve and fortitude to stand up to him, as the youngest in my family.
One time he was in one of his alcoholic rages and started to beat one of our dogs....
I was less than 8yrs old, cause we recently moved into a home my parents bought.
I moved into btwn them. As a child spoke with a boldness that shook my father's core, he shared this decades later when he got sober.
I said with tears streaming down my face, " Poppa!! POPPA !! STOP IT.. Why are you hurting those you Love ??"...
Though his face, his eyes had rages of darkness I could realize at that age my words stopped him briefly.
He said..." Who in the Hell do you think you are, speaking to me like this !!!"
He brought up his hands to strike me
" I said, Poppa I'm sorry you have pain. You will not hit me now ".
I feel that there were ' others' from Heaven with me. Cause his eyes got big... just stared at me, looked defeated, walked into the garage and wept.
This was finally discussed during His sobriety. Made amends.
I share all this to realize that though it might be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to Love our Family, especially if they chose to act ' less than '.
They are broken, wounded, as a victim themselves. Definitely not saying this to allow such behaviors to happen.
Today would have been my beloved Poppas 80th birthday.
I'm grateful for him to heal as much as he could, help heal our family before he returned back home.
Family is truly everything... In this life and next.
Thank you for allowing me to share my love, understanding here with my current beloved Family Tribe.
