Well, luckily for the former president*‘s campaign, it wasn’t raining on Monday, when he grotesquely used Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop because, as we know, he gets a little nervous around soldiers’ graves in the rain, and he says things that require him to lie his ass off later. Most recently, of course, he devalued the Congressional Medal of Honor in favor of a bauble he draped on Rush Limbaugh and the wife of one of the sleaziest of his sleazy donors.

    It involved the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier so it’s entirely possible. I’m honestly impressed the Infantry guarding it didn’t put the campaign staffers in the hospital.

        That’s the myth but no. There is a loaded weapon nearby, but it’s not for overzealous tourists. Those guards do not need a weapon to put you back behind the rope.
