Because "we all" don't believe that. There was nothing wrong with Trump attending the ceremony, since he was invited by the families, and nothing wrong with taking photos. People take photos in Arlington all the dang time. It is allowed. And the families requested a photo.

The issue then becomes whether you use any for political purposes.

So some libs on here spazzed out about it, even after we showed that Biden did the same exact thing in 2020.

So if Biden did it, then why all the crying?

Oh, but somebody "assaulted" a worker? No, more like the anti-Trump worker tried to halt what the families wanted to do, in a histrionic manner, as it was described, and somebody in Trump's entourage shoved them out of the way a bit, so they could walk by.

If it was more than that, you can bet a lawsuit would have been filed. But too many witnesses and too many cameras around to get away with that.

As Clarence likes to say, "End of story."

The real scum is the one who denied these and other soldiers never died.

I don’t think anyone has denied the loss of these soldiers’ lives. Are you daft? This is probably the single most moronic comment I have seen come from you, and that is saying a lot……

Biden* did. Or did you miss that comment?

I’d be happy to have you post a comment in which Biden denies the loss of life at Abbygate.

Biden said it at the debate with Trump. Did you not watch? It has been all over the news for 6 weeks now.

Does NBC work as a reliable source? First one that popped up.

Quote:Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., slammed President Biden's comments at the recent presidential debate that no U.S. service members have died under his watch. He said that neither Biden nor Harris deserve "to be saluted as commander in chief or to sit in the Oval Office."
July 17, 2024

https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/rep-ma...5109189697

And before you say that isn't a direct quote, why would Mast slam it, or NBC print this, if it didn't happen? There are literally dozens of examples online discussing Biden's comment at the debate.

And I'm sure there is video of the actual comment, but I'll be damned if I spend time to find it.

Just last year, ******* --

Biden honors service members killed during Afghanistan withdrawal

"“Today, Jill and I remember and mourn these 13 brave American service members and the more than 100 innocent Afghan civilians who were killed in the horrific terrorist attack at Abbey Gate"

You need to maybe tell your doctor to reduce the dosage that moron pill you seemingly are doing.

Biden, on *numerous* occasions, has fully acknowledged the victims of Abbey Gate at Kabul airport.

Just please stop with the fing moronic comment that he has "denied" that these soldiers died. You are quaffing way too much of the Really Stupid Juice lately.

Tanq, I never said Biden denied it his whole life. I simply stated that he denied anybody died. AT THE DEBATE. So blather on.

As for what Trump did (use a photo for political purposes), you also still don't acknowledge that Biden did the same damn thing.

You’ve never taken responsibility here for being an absolute hack so let’s just call it even.

NBC News’ Kristen Welker falsely claims Kamala met with Abbey Gate Gold Star families during dignified transfer

Quote:NBC News’ Kristen Welker falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris met with Gold Star families who lost their servicemen and women during the Abbey Gate suicide bombing when the bodies of those US Armed Forces members returned home for the dignified transfer of their remains. There's only one problem: Harris was not in fact at the dignified transfer.

Welker made the claim in defense of the Democrat presidential candidate during a Meet the Press interview with Senator Tom Cotton on Sunday as Cotton blasted Harris for not meeting with them and not attending a memorial on the 3rd anniversary of their deaths last Monday. GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was at the memorial and was criticized for that by the Harris campaign.

"All right, let me ask you about another one of the big headlines this week," Welker said. "Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery. You've been talking about this. He attended a wreath laying ceremony, obviously, for the 13 service members who were killed during the US withdraw from Afghanistan. He was invited by those family members. Important to say that he also had campaign staffers with him. Photos, videos were posted on a campaign site. Taking campaign photos and videos at grave sites is forbidden under federal law. You, of course, served at Arlington Cemetery in the Old Guard, so I know that this is a sacred place for you. Bottom line, though, I guess, Senator, is it ever appropriate to make campaign content at military gravesites?" Biden used photos from the cemetery in his campaign advertising in 2020.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) told Meet the Press host Welker that Harris could have “honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. And it’s because of her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan.”

"There these families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's incompetence," Cotton responded, "invited him to the cemetery, and they asked him to take those photos. Because, as they told me yesterday when I spoke to Kelly Barnett and Darren Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don't get to go to the beach on Labor Day. They don't get to have barbecues. This is their one chance to have a memory of their children to commemorate their service and honor, their sacrifice.

"They wanted President Trump there," Cotton continued. "They wanted to take those photos. You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting on the beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, DC. She was four miles away, 10 minutes. She could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them."

At that Welker interrupted, saying "Well they did meet with them during the dignified transfer, they were there with them at the dignified transfer."

"It's because of her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan," Cotton said. Harris was not at the dignified transfer of remains in 2021. Biden was there, however, and he was seen checking his watch as he stood, masked, next to First Lady Jill and Department of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Former President Donald Trump honored those 13 Americans at a recent ceremony at Arlington. President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has been repeatedly cited as disastrous.

The Gold Star families have castigated Harris for not honoring the 13 Americans killed at the Kabul airport and for attacking Trump for doing so, calling it “false, hypocritical and disgraceful.”

Meet the Press issued a correction after airing the broadcast, saying "On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden was in attendance but Harris was not."

So typical.

So you are jumping up and down, and hopping mad that even though Biden has noted the *specific* deaths multiple times, there was single, solitary instance in which he didnt.

Got it. Hpw fing horrible. Git the pitchforks....

Quote:As for what Trump did (use a photo for political purposes), you also still don't acknowledge that Biden did the same damn thing.

I have. Four times previously. Now #5 coming up. In fact, not only have I said that that happened -- I said it was wrong. Improper. JFC.

And *you* have YET to acknowledge that Trump's use was improper. Just reflexively regurgitated the whadabout above.

And havent acknowledged the issues surrounding a member of Trump's team physically assaulting an employee of Arlington. I guess we should just roll that up with the rest of your justification/ whadabout ****. Sounds fun.

This is a big nothingburger.

The only reason it became a “controversy” is because Kamala or her handlers put a foot-in-mouth and decided to attack Trump and thus the fallen families over the event and the sycophantic media followed in pursuit. Not knowing the Gold star families would attack Kamala over it with most of the media rarely mentioning the families responses which is favorable to Trump. That’s it

No one cares that Trump went to the thing. No one cares that Trump laid flowers. In fact I give Trump points for going there, and for laying the wreath.

Trumps fing entourage acted like a bunch of shitbirds when confronted by officials of ANC. And physically assaulted the employee.

As I said, Im damn impressed on the physical assault aspect. And Im damn impressed that no one on the Trump side thinks it improper. Imagine that.

No assault, no story.

Losers and suckers.

#broken

#CryForTheCumquat

352 posts, and 2 other threads on the subject. All b/c a couple of Trump haters on here freaked out about the "assault" that nobody really proved, and that nobody is suing over, and that nobody has seen video of.

While Trump was doing an activity that they also freaked out about, until they were shown video of Biden doing exactly the same thing.

And while ignoring that the gold star families were backing Trump and criticizing Harris.

Got it.

You have no proof of physical assault on an employee of Arlington. None what so ever and no, reading something second hand on the internet doesn't count.

Even the suckers and losers comment is from one person, and rebutted by a dozen.

Biden said “no soldiers died on my watch” at the debate. FOR OBVIOUSLY POLITICAL REASONS. And he probably was quite aware he was lying.

“He’s not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured"

John McCain was decorated with a silver star, three bronze stars, and two Purple Hearts and corporal bone spurs wants to say he wasn’t a war hero? Thats on video.

He also says the presidential medal of freedom is better than the MoH.

“Miriam, I watched (Sheldon Adelson, her late husband) sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,”


Trump ***** on vets all the time.

Sure. And Biden and Harris ("the last person in the room") get them killed.
