On Monday, Trump visited Arlington to lay a wreath in honor of the service members who were killed in a suicide bombing during the evacuation from Afghanistan.

However, the trip has been marred by a report that two members of Trump’s campaign were involved in some sort of physical altercation. The incident began when photographers tried to record the former president’s visit to the area where military casualties are buried.

NPR reported the incident was caused by a staffer trying to prevent “filming and photographing in the section.”

As the cemetery notes, “Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign… Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

Trump campaign Steven Cheung told a different story in a statement, saying, “A private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason 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.”

Still, Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler called the incident “pretty sad.”

“Listen, this is what we’ve come to expect from Donald Trump and his team,” Tyler told CNN.

He added, “Donald Trump is a person who wants to make everything all about Donald Trump. He’s also somebody who has a history of demeaning and degrading military service members, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.”
