Connolly Calls for Trump Arlington Cemetery Report to Be Made Public

Washington, DC – Following reports that Donald Trump’s campaign had an altercation with Arlington National Cemetery staff, Congressman Connolly called for cemetery leadership to release to the public all that transpired during the visit. Connolly’s full statement:

“I’ve joined families in grieving at Arlington Cemetery and spent my career ensuring those who served can be buried at our National cemetery. It’s sad but all too expected that Donald Trump would desecrate this hallowed ground and put campaign politics ahead of honoring our heroes. This is a man whose own military generals have disavowed, a man who has called heroes like John McCain suckers and losers, a man who has insulted Gold Star families. His behavior and that of his campaign is abhorrent and shameful. I urge Arlington Cemetery to publicly release all that transpired yesterday so the American people can ensure the ground in which our nation’s heroes are buried is not being debased by a man who has no concept of service and sacrifice.”
