Former President Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery to honor the 13 US military service members killed in the Kabul airport attack in 2021 was disrupted when an individual blocked his campaign staff from accompanying him. Despite the families of the fallen service members giving their blessing for Trump's official videographer and photographer to attend and capture the event, the cemetery confirmed that political campaign activities are prohibited within Army National Military Cemeteries. Reports from NPR suggest that a cemetery official attempted to stop Trump's staff from filming and taking photos, leading to a verbal and physical altercation, with the staff allegedly verbally abusing and pushing the official. The cemetery has filed a report on the incident, and Trump's campaign has posted a video of the visit on TikTok, with Trump commenting on the event on Truth Social.
