This isn't even a joke, that's literally what happened.

Thumbs up over a fresh grave. Too dumb to even recognize how shitty that would look.

I really wish there was a term for using threats of violence, or the fear of violence, to achieve political gains. I feel like there should be a word for that.

I understand his reluctance, he will be front and center in the news with a lot of dangerous weirdos out there. And he has a public job.

The employer should do it if there is video evidence.

And we all know the Republican mindset around women...

Two officials with former President Donald Trump’s campaign were accused of verbally abusing and shoving a cemetery worker during a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday after the worker allegedly attempted to prevent the staffers from filming in a restricted area of the cemetery where recent U.S. military casualties are buried.

And Trump's people say they have video of it all, but they refuse to post the whole thing. I hope they're subpoenaed before they delete the shit.
