The political posturing in this case was a crime--literally a crime perpetrated by the Trump campaign when they bullied their way into conducting their obscenely illegal stunt.

To Kevin's forum:
The Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote today that "hauling a camera crew to Arlington National Cemetery and exploiting the fresh graves of heroes — using them as props in his presidential campaign — was more than a violation of the cemetery’s rules; it was more, even, than a violation of federal law. It was a deeply dishonorable act by a shockingly dishonorable man."
By the way, in the online comments earlier today, I posted this:
"At the Substack Civil War Memory, Kevin M. Levin has posted a compelling analysis of Republicans who spoke out against removal of that Confederate monument from Arlington, but who have remained silent about their party’s latest moral atrocity."
