The two Trump campaign staffers accused of being involved in a dispute with an Arlington National Cemetery official have been identified, according to a report from NPR.

The broadcaster broke the allegations last week, revealing how two Trump staffers—whom it did not identify—got into a physical and verbal altercation with an Arlington employee who told them they couldn’t take photos in the cemetery’s Section 60.

The staffers involved in the incident were identified by a source Thursday as Justin Caporale, a deputy campaign manager, and Michel Picard, a member of the Republican nominee’s advance team.

        Not just assaulted anyone… They assaulted a woman, which seems painfully on-point for so many of the shitheels in that support base.

        “A woman daring to tell us what we can and can’t do? How dare she!” You know that shit went through their heads, and probably exited their mouths.

      Actually not too concerned about shaming, but rather, they should get a visit from the FBI, and or appropriate police type persons. Information should be gathered, and charges should be filed. Subsequent court case, etc, etc, given that we live in a civilized society, and we already have procedures for this sort of activity.

        I believe she asked that they not do that out of fear of retaliation.

        Which itself is an issue that needs to be addressed.

      You can probably go down the list of every single person Trump employs in his political team and find heinous shit on all of them.

      In order to work with a PoS like Trump, you kind of have to have a lack of fucks for humankind.
