Everything about the Trump Arlington story is bananas, but maybe the most bananas part was the actual plan itself: to secretly film a fake established memorial event & then claim Vice President Harris refused to attend.

Three days ago, the Trump campaign held a campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery. The idea was to lay a wreath honoring the 13 members of the U.S. military who were killed during the evacuation of Kabul in 2021 and film a political ad. They would distribute the video and attack Vice President Harris and President Biden for not "showing up" for their campaign event, which they sought to portray was an established memorial. As soon as the video circulated, military policy experts I know said right off the bat they were shocked that the campaign had been allowed to hold a campaign event on the grounds of the cemetery and circulate video of it. It isn't just unseemly. It's against the law. How were they allowed to do that?
