The U.S. Army has disputed a claim from Donald Trump’s campaign that nobody on his staff got physical with an employee of Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
Instead, the military branch confirmed Thursday that a member of Trump’s staff “abruptly pushed” a woman employee after she sought to “ensure adherence” to cemetery rules that bars recording for political purposes.
The Army said the woman reported the incident to local cops but ultimately decided against pressing charges. It remains unclear who in Trump’s orbit did the alleged pushing.
There’s over 300 news outlets reporting on this with about 19% on the right.
I checked some of the articles further on the right and they’re all defending trump and even outright lying, and attacking the woman that tried to hold up the law.
Well, looks like I wasn’t banned before.
Oh well!
I sometimes wish getting a ban would mean that I wasn’t allowed to read that shit either. That would help so much.
