The families were smiling too. They appeared glad that he took the time to be there while Joe and Kamala were at the beach. |
The group took video and photographs that included a ridiculous thumbs-up gesture, not only behind Hoover’s grave but also the grave next to his, that of Phoenix-born Master Sgt. Andrew “Andy” Marckesano, a Green Beret and Silver Star recipient who died by suicide in 2020.
Sgt. Marckesano’s sister told The New York Times that she supports the Hoover’s family “quest for answers and accountability” over the incident that killed their loved one, but added, “However, according to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to Staff Sergeant Hoover’s gravesite in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave. “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.” So does the family of Sgt. Marckesano not count? When including THAT headstone in the pic was an explicit violation of cemetery rules (for some reason their site is coming up with a black overlay tonight or I would copy what I read on there a few days ago) If you are visiting a grave as a private memorial service you may take photos ONLY of that grave(or graves), NOT of other headstones. So that family, who did nothing to bring on this debacle, got pulled in anyway. |
You are wrong on both accounts. |
People here are so ignorant. |
You’re falling for the con hook, line, and sinker. |
You and the rest of the leftist peanut gallery should definitely keep attacking Gold Star families. |
Somehow the people around Kamala convinced her to go hard attacking gold star families. |
I have a feeling there will be people in her campaign fired tomorrow. |
Where I’m from, a thumbs up is a universal sign of support/camaraderie. |
Kamala IS the con. |
92% staff turnover. |
See Trump actually did that. |
DP. What about the Gold Star families who don’t want the graves of their fallen politicized by being captured in photos that end up in TikTok ads? Do their opinions not matter? Why do the rules of Arlington not apply to everyone? |
Meh…they may just quit on their own. Like most people who went to work for Kamala. |
