John Bolton Says Trump Made 'Forbidden' Move After Controversial Arlington Visit
HuffPost
The former national security adviser said he couldn't predict the political outcome of Trump's "shameful behavior."
Former Trump White House national security adviser John Bolton flagged what GOP nominee Donald Trump did “wrong” following his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery this week.
Bolton appeared on CNN where host Phil Mattingly described Trump as “close” to family members of service members killed in Kabul during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He noted that he was surprised the U.S. Army put out a statement about a Trump campaign staffer having “abruptly pushed aside” an Arlington official before Bolton agreed it was an “unusual” move for the Army to say something.
“And to be clear, what Trump may have done at Arlington with the families, whatever he said to them, pictures that were taken. That’s not anything that’s wrong,” Bolton said.
He continued, “What was wrong was what he did after they left the cemetery. By taking the films and so on and turning them into a political advertisement, that is what’s forbidden and that’s what he did. And I think that’s why people are legitimately upset.”
