CNN political commentator Scott Jennings stated on Wednesday's episode of "Situation Room" that the criticism directed at former President Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery was purely political and amounted to “garbage.”
Guest host Alex Marquardt asked, “If NPR’s report is true that Trump campaign aides verbally pushed and mistreated the cemetery official, does that raise any concerns for you?”
Jennings responded, “I wasn’t there, so I can’t confirm if it’s true or not. The Trump campaign claims it’s not true, and I’m sure more details will come out. What I find truly despicable is how Biden and Harris have treated these families, ignoring and disrespecting them after making one of the most disastrous decisions of their administration. Everyone has an opinion on this, but the only ones that really matter are those of the families involved. As JD Vance reported, they stated, ‘We had given our approval for Trump’s official videographer and photographer to attend. We cherish these memories forever. We’re deeply grateful for the president taking the time to honor our children and stand alongside us in our grief.’ They released a lengthy statement expressing how pleased they were to have Trump at Arlington with them. He has given them his attention, something Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have failed to do.”
Marquardt then asked, “If they didn’t get approval from the cemetery, shouldn’t they have? And should they release this video now?”
Jennings replied, “Look, the only people who would turn something positive, like Trump spending time with Gold Star families, into a political attack, are those who are truly craven. That’s my take. The only opinions that matter here are those of the Gold Star families. They invited Trump, he attended, and they were happy he was there. If that doesn’t satisfy the Democrats, I don’t know what will.”
