Quote:Trump's Arlington Cemetery Visit Ripped by Navy Vet: 'Treasonous Traitor'
Former President Donald Trump's recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery has drawn fierce criticism from a retired U.S. Navy veteran, who denounced the controversial figure as a "treasonous traitor" and questioned the decision to allow him on the hallowed grounds.
"As a veteran who gave 20 years and 28 days of his life, I AM BEYOND PISSED!" Berkwitt wrote on X. "Who in the f****** hell allowed Trump to lay a wreath today at Arlington Cemetery that is shitting on my brothers and sisters who served their country, something this rotten bastard never did?"
In his video message, Berkwitt elaborated on his frustration, stating, "As a veteran, who served for 20 years 28 days, during Desert Shield, Desert Storm, the Gulf War, In the Iraq War and retired honorably. I have upheld my oath every day since September 30, 2006, my retirement day. But on this day, a f****** treasonous traitor who tried to overthrow the government on January 6th, 2021. A convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, liable for fraud, degenerate misogynistic pig, lying grifter who pushes bibles. They're now pushing books about b******* and were allowed to go to Arlington National Cemetery on this special day. What the f***? And who in the f*** allowed this m*********** to do that s*** and defecate on our fallen soldiers that are buried there."
Some veteran accounts on X also chimed in with criticism of Trump attending the ceremony at the historic cemetery.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
