Ex-president hits back at Pennsylvania rally after US army rebuked him for turning Arlington ceremony into photo op
for turning a ceremony on Monday to mark the deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan into a photo opportunity for the Republican presidential candidate. The army accused two campaign workers of pushing aside an official at the cemetery who told them that it was not permitted to take photographs at the graves of recently deceased soldiers.
“Joe Biden killed those young people because he was incompetent. And then they tell me that I used their graves for public relations services, and I didn’t.” No such message was immediately discernible as the former president hit many of his stock themes, from immigration and crime to questioning whether Kamala Harris would be able to “stand up to China and North Korea” as president.
