The Arlington cemetery official who had filed a report about the confrontation with the Trump team declined to press charges. Military officials said she feared being targeted by Trump supporters. Chris Cameron Eric Schmitt me

1. The GOP terrorizes people into silence and inaction.

Like all fascist leaders do.

[Grins]

28. In this case, "she." NM

[Irish_Dem]

2. So Trump's aides bullied and threatened a woman doing her job.

[Think. Again.]

6. I'd say they violently interfered with military operations.

[Irish_Dem]

36. What would have happened to us if we had done that?

[bluestarone]

3. WTF?

Are they scaredy cats?? I can't believe this crap.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. I am not in her shoes. I do not receive death threats.

[senseandsensibility]

4. Of course

I have a hint for corporate journalists: this does not mean that the story is over. Hide her identity, but continue to expose these scumbags.

[Think. Again.]

5. She shouldn't have to personally press charges...

...a law about activity on military ground was broken, whoever is the military's legal representative should be pressing charges on behalf of the U.S. Military.

We simply can't allow lowlife thugs to intimidate us.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. I wondered about that, too.

No one in the military or who are in charge of the cemetery would take over?

[Think. Again.]

11. The Military Polce should have handled this disruption immediately.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

24. Makes me wonder if they were fine with it

MAGGATs everywhere.

[AZ8theist]

25. No worries. Comer Pyle will launch an investigation in the House

NOT.

[Zambero]

7. And for good reason

The intimidating mob boss tactics are part and parcel of how MAGA intends to remake this country. Just look what Trump did to the two women in Georgia who were just performing their duties as election workers. His minions follow his example at every turn. A very sick bunch!

[Cha]

8. I see her point... Too bad, though.. We need Courage Under Fire..

to Expose the Bully Ghoul.

[sheshe2]

13. I agree, Courage Under Fire, Cha.

She may not press charges herself, but it is still a federal offense and charges may still be forthcoming. I sure hope so since he has a full video on the internet as a campaign promo where he lies that no soldier died on his watch. It was a disgusting photo OP with him smiling and two thumbs up while standing on the bodies of our dead military men and women.

I wonder if this woman is in the military as many of those working there are.

[Cha]

15. Yes, I Hope Charges can still be Filed

by someone in Charge at Arlington Cemetary

TSF Needs to be Held Accountable for his Desecration, Lies, and Propaganda.

I call it a Shit Eating grin... and TY for pointing out the Sacred Ground he is standing on with his Stupid "Two thumbs up" gesture like it's a GD beauty contest

[sheshe2]

17. Just when I thought he could not sink any lower...

a new bottom opens up. He is in free fall.

[Cha]

19. Yeah, TSF is a Stupid Bottomless Toxic PIT.

[3catwoman3]

32. I commented in a different thread on this topic that it's too bad...

...that damn thumb has never been caught in a paper shredder.

The thumbs up gesture has forever been spoiled, as has the OK gesture.

[Cha]

33. I agree... I've put off using it in my

Text messages because of that very reason.

And yeah,... most of the world will rejoice when TSF I& his 2 thumbs meet his maker.

[riversedge]

10. Very interesting. This is the first that I have read that it was a female worker. So, the

Trump camp feels free to push around a woman worker. I wonder if they would have done the same if it was a male??

Just a thought.

[sheshe2]

14. I am curious to know if she is also a soldier.

Many of those working there are. If so, his people 'manhandled' not just a woman, but a soldier.

I want details!

[Hugin]

20. Or a veteran.

Many people in those positions are veterans.

[sheshe2]

22. Yes, you are right.

A veteran that served her country.

[DallasNE]

26. I Understand Her Concern And Fear, Which Is Real

But it is not what the situation calls for. She swore to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Here she encountered a domestic enemy.

[Freethinker65]

12. So using the cemetery for political photo ops is okay now for everyone?

Or only the Trump campaign gets away with it?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

16. We know little about this woman. Is she a senior volunteer? Is she a soldier? pregnant? single parent? disabled?

vulnerable in any way? I don't really blame her for trying to self protect. We just don't know.

I'm a senior, and if that stupid ass 3 percenter down the street from me decides to "accidently" push me to the ground or terrorize me in any other way, I might me a goner. No, I don't blame this woman.

[Demobrat]

23. I don't blame her either.

God only knows what those scumbags would do to her. It only takes one.

[Clouds Passing]

21. Someone should press charges for pushing her.

[liberal N proud]

27. Unfortunately that is what trump and MAGA are counting on

They love to use fear to control others.

[relayerbob]

29. This should then be escalated

Why is one person expected to press charges. The Arlington Cemetery leadership, whoever that is, and the military should be pursuing this case.

[spanone]

30. This is how he gets away with his shit.

They need to put the full weight of the government on this fucking fucker.

So tired of this.

[Blue Owl]

31. Fuck tRump and his fucking thugs

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. After being physically threatened, I do not blame this lady

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. Stochastic terrorism against a government official.
