Cemetery Scuffles

By Hubie and Bertie

"Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former President participated in a wreath-laying ceremony," NPR reports.

"The cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent US casualties are buried... Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or films in the area, known as Section 60. When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside."

We cats want to know: What decent person poses at the graves of our honored dead, giving a "thumb's-up" sign? What family members would allow such a thing? Why is this not a national scandal of epic proportions, disqualifying Benedict Donald not only from the 2024 Presidential campaign, but from all polite society going forward? We cats are stumped, and we HISS.
