When Trump used a visit to Arlington National Cemetery as a press opp, filming in an area where photography is not allowed and even pushing a guard out of the way, controversy erupted.
Now, the family of a Green Beret, Sergeant Marckesano, is speaking out after their son’s grave was featured in a TikTok video released by Trump.
Sergeant Marckesano’s sister said in a message directed at Trump, “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.”
A former staffer of Trump’s laid into her old boss’s decision to film a TikTok video attacking her political opponent in a section of the Cemetery where photos and videos are banned.

Griffin noted there’s a distinction with Trump’s event, which she felt was a “campaign event.
