HOLLOWED OUT GOP

Submitted by ub on

Who is guilty of being the criminal that single-handedly hollowed out the Grand Old Party and now wants to do it to the USA?

Hollowed out #GOP describes the decline of America's Republican Party with too many manifestations since its birth in 1854. I was recruited and served as a G15/10 for USIA during the George HW Bush administration. Papa Bush would be shocked.

US Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asked the U.S. Army in a letter Friday for the full details and a briefing on former President Trump’s visit to Arlington cemetery, after reports of a confrontation between his staff and cemetery officials surfaced.

Years ago, looking after others and respect for elders, veterans and fallen members of the military was a lesson we learned at home and adhered to in school. We were also taught, to show respect for our elders, the military, and our public health, and safety officials.

Then came Trump who shows no respect for this nation, decided to trample on the hallowed graves at Arlington National Cemetery to use the event as a campaign stop by disrespecting the people who fought to give him freedom to run with bone spurs.

What should bother all Americans, especially registered voters is how there are people who defend Trump's disrespect, as if those buried at Arlington are unworthy of any respect at all. Regardless of whether the person buried in Arlington was a Republican, an Independent, or a Democrat, that person deserves both our respect and admiration for giving We The People. Great American Republic. All of us should work to restore our basic principles of mutual respect for one another regardless of race, gender, color, or creed.

The AP, which has been reporting since May 22, 1846, in New York, NY says US Defense officials say Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal. It came a day after NPR reported that two Trump campaign staff members “verbally abused and pushed” aside a cemetery official who tried to stop them from filming and photographing in the burial site for military personnel killed while fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
