The National Rifle Association is stepping on soldiers' graves and apparently violating government policy in its latest shameful display.
The organization's Political Victory Fund released an anti-Hillary Clinton ad Wednesday, "Stop Clinton, Vote Trump," that shows former Marine and Benghazi attack survivor Mark Geist walking through a veterans cemetery.
"A lot of people say they're not going to vote this November because their candidate didn't win," he says over shots of gravestones. "Well, I know some people who won't be voting this year either."
Federal government officials dismissed the ad, stating that the NRA never requested to film on the solemn, hallowed ground and would have been rejected if it had.
"Partisan activities are prohibited on national cemetery grounds as they are not compatible with preserving the dignity and tranquility of the national cemeteries as national shrines," the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, which maintains 134 national cemeteries, told The News in a statement.
