Vice President Kamala Harris said former president Donald Trump “disrespected sacred ground” at Arlington National Cemetery, where the Republican nominee took and distributed images despite a federal prohibition on campaign activity on the grounds.

In a statement posted Saturday on the social media platform X, Ms Harris cited reports that Mr Trump’s campaign aides created an altercation with a cemetery staffer and proceeded to take photographs and film the former president, including at the graves of Afghanistan war veterans after being warned about rules at the site.
