    He laid a wreath. So the law wasn’t violated and the hatch act is a joke.

        The Gold Star families asked him to lay a wreath, which he did. He did not violate any laws. The Hatch Act is for federal employees, which Trump is not. The only reason this made the news is an employee overstepped their authority and tried to block a Gold Star family from laying a wreath on their child’s grave. The person should be terminated.

        • The families have zero say in this. It is not a private cemetery. Read my other comment on this if you need to, but you and your buddy in this thread are so far off base. Go back to law school if you have a degree.

            The families do have a say. It’s their child’s grave.

            Photos are allowed as I have cited.

            The hatch act is for federal employees which weren’t involved.

            If it’s a crime then Biden has committed the exact same crime.

              They have zero say. It’s federal land, and a cemetery at that. They can’t bend or change the laws any more than you can declare an FBI office your new house “becuz I PaY year taXes”

                No law was broken. As such no law has to be changed.

                He laid a wreath. Took a picture with the family. That’s all legal.

                If it was a crime, where is the arrest? Exactly. It’s people turning something non-political into something political.

                • Nope, it wasn’t. They were turned away, assaulted a representative, and did it anyway thinking they could get away it.

                  The cemetery rep said they couldn’t be there, the law very much says they can’t be there, and then they committed extra crimes on top of that.

                  How are you thinking no laws were broken?

                    The law does not say they can’t be there. The law says you can’t campaign there which he didn’t.

                    If a law was broken, where was the arrest? Sounds like a bunch of political crap
