NOT FOR LAFFY Steven Cheung, a #Trump campaign spokesman, said, “those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes...suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome & their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”

When an #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the 2 #Trump campaign operatives [#JustinCaporale & #MichelPicard]…. Picard then pushed her out of the way acc/to 2 #Pentagon ofcls.

After #NPR first reported the altercation last week, campaign spox #StevenCheung said they were “prepared to release footage” of the incident, & attacked the #Arlington employee as “clearly suffering from a mental health episode.”

Let's not leave #Trump's campaign filth out of this.
#StevenCheung, #ChrisLaCivita, and any of the other ghoulish scumbags who carried out that sick, grotesque's vile, cynical, disrespectful, masturbatory display need to be held to account.
Literal sleaze. Doing it for the money.
At least whores aren't hurting anyone.

The Guardian · Trump staffers reported over altercation at Arlington cemetery during photo opBy Richard Luscombe
Continued thread

The confrontation prompted the woman to file a report w/ #law enforcement, but officials said she later decided not to press charges. “Therefore,” the statement says, “the #Army considers this matter closed.”

…After news of the incident was first reported…, #Trump campaign spox #StevenCheung alleged w/o evidence that the #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee had suffered a “mental health episode,” & Trump co-campaign manager #ChrisLaCivita called her a “despicable individual.”

On Wed #StevenCheung said the employee “initiated physical contact that was unwarranted & unnecessary.” [wrong - you were breaking the rules & the #law]

Cheung also said the #Trump #campaign would release footage to support his claim but has not. They did, however, post a TikTok of the event on Wed — exactly what #military ofcls tried to prevent. The use of the footage marked a flagrant violation of the #law against #partisan actions at #MilitaryCemeteries, #Defense said.

#Trump campaign spox #StevenCheung responded to the 1st report of the altercation, from NPR on Tues, by accusing, w/o evidence, the employee of “suffering from a mental health episode” [Im surprised he didn’t call the woman “hysterical” stereotypical #misogynistic crap]. #Defense ofcls said that the employee was trying to do her job & that the claim of a mental health episode was false.

“What was abundantly clear cut was: #Section60, no photos & no video,” the #defense official said.

A person familiar w/the matter told NPR, which 1st reported the incident, that the #Trump campaign staff pushed & verbally attacked a #cemetery ofcl who tried to stop them from taking photos & videos in Section 60.

…Trump campaign comms dir #StevenCheung said that…the campaign was…“prepared to release footage” to defend against “defamatory claims.”
[they haven’t, probably bc it doesn’t exist]

“We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made,” Steven Cheung, the spokesman for the campaign, said. “... an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President #Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.”

Pretty rich of #StevenCheung to lament about defamatory claims and then say the employee at #Arlington Cemetery had "a mental health episode"...
Low class and zero decency.
