'Desecrated by Donald Trump': Widow of former marine calls out Trump's Arlington photo-op - Velshi - MSNBC



Gold Star widow and Marine veteran Kait Wyatt calls out Donald Trump’s “inappropriate” photo op at Arlington National Cemetery this week, which occurred four years after Trump pulled off a similar stunt near her husband’s grave. “Arlington National Cemetery is a visible reminder of the dead who made this country possible… It shouldn’t have to be explained that this is not an opportunity for a photo op,” she tells Velshi.

She also calls out Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, a former marine, for not standing up to Trump. “I’m demanding accountability from Corporal Vance on how this egregious trespassing on sacred ground, how it can be worth your integrity to work for a man like that.” - Aired on 09/01/2024.
