The Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign stated that the reported physical confrontation between former President Donald Trump's campaign aides and an official at Arlington National Cemetery was "unfortunate," but "it's not surprising coming from the Trump team."

On Monday, two members of the Republican nominee's campaign got into a confrontation with an Arlington Cemetery official while Trump was participating in a wreath-laying ceremony in a designated section for recent U.S. military casualties.

According to a source, the official tried to prevent Trump staff from filming and taking pictures in the area during the event honoring the third anniversary of the deaths of 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing at Kabul's airport during the evacuation of Afghanistan.

On Wednesday, Tyler stated on CNN that Donald Trump is someone who wants to make everything about himself and has a history of demeaning and degrading military service members who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

"The MAGA extremism is causing them to become sick, and they are also frustrated with a leader who only focuses on serving themselves rather than fighting for the American people."

On Tuesday night, Arlington announced that an incident occurred and a report was filed.

"All participants were informed and adhered to the law and its prohibitions reinforced by Arlington National Cemetery."

After Trump's visit, his campaign shared videos and photos of the event on social media, including a TikTok video of him at Arlington.

TikTok adds a tag to some political content that directs users to information about U.S. elections.

A video of Trump at Arlington was shared on social media by Dan Scavino, a senior advisor to Trump's campaign.

During a solemn ceremony, a private photographer was granted access to the premises. However, an unidentified individual, who appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis, physically obstructed members of President Trump's team.

On Wednesday, Chris LaCivita, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign, stated that an unnamed bureaucrat working at Arlington National Cemetery is undermining the sanctity of the cemetery by turning a solemn and respectful occasion into something entirely different.

Arlington visit images posted by LaCivita, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, on social media.

On Tuesday night, he shared a photo of Trump with the families of fallen military members at Arlington and a statement from the relatives of two Marines who were killed in the Kabul attack, Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover and Sgt. Nicole Gee.

"Our approval was granted for President Trump's official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring that these solemn moments of remembrance were respectfully captured, allowing us to cherish these memories forever."
