The U.S. Army has disputed a claim from Donald Trump’s campaign that nobody on his staff got physical with an employee of Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.

Instead, the military branch confirmed Thursday that a member of Trump’s staff “abruptly pushed” a woman employee after she sought to “ensure adherence” to cemetery rules that bars recording for political purposes.

The Army said the woman reported the incident to local cops but ultimately decided against pressing charges. It remains unclear who in Trump’s orbit did the alleged pushing.

    What happened to Trump’s video proof that no one got physical and she had a mental episode?

      *His video proof that they weren’t recording video at the cemetery.

      One of the most moronic claims I’ve heard in a long time.

        Isn’t that guy a poor like us now? He could be working a shift at the home Depot by now and hating Trump, just like the rest of us out of the cult.

      Trump is exactly the kind of Karen who would describe anyone disagreeing with him as ‘having a mental health episode.’

        Especially when it is a woman disagreeing with him. I anticipate at least once post debate him saying Harris was having a mental health issue during the debate.
