     @DemocracyMattersALot ok. So, many of these devastating ads are anything but.

     This one? Holy poop.

     I saw an interview with one of the family members that were there.

     She literally said that VP Harris is the one that politicized the event and is using it to unfairly target him.

     I want them to KNOW that yes, it was WRONG, what djt & campaign did.

     That this isn’t a political issue, it’s that USA service member’s graves were desecrated but they don’t see that.

     Federal law. The families that invited Trump may have been ok breaking the rules, but Trump and his cronies were told and decided to break federal law. Just like some college kids think slipping a girl a roofie, is ok.

     I hope the Gold families that invited Trump to Arlington see this ad because they *don’t* see anything wrong with the events of that day.

     @Pagan_Animist @cindyyusa @DemocracyMattersALot It stuns me how many people will still throw themselves under a bus for that monster.

     Like the supposed 'christians' that compare him to Christ. Even as an atheist who spent decades angry at the faith I was raised in, this is offensive. It's like these so-called Christians have NEVER read the story of the crucifixion and the penitent thief.

     People don't know that Trump's riff on John McCain was based on a scene from Woody Allen's 1998 film Celebrity. The scene is a nasty old grandma surrounded by her adoring family, saying "What's he famous for? For being captured? Why is he a hero? It’s no feat to get captured."

     Trump is in the film in an unrelated scene for about 10 seconds.

     I've never seen anyone report on this, but it's clear to me where he got his lines.
