CNN’s Jim Acosta Suggests Trump Is ‘Politicizing’ Thirteen Service Members By Visiting Arlington National Cemetery
CNN anchor Jim Acosta suggested that Republican nominee Donald Trump is “politicizing” the deaths of the 13 service members killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, by visiting Arlington National Cemetery on Monday. Trump attended a ceremony to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, where a suicide explosion killed 13 U.S. service members outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport. Acosta questioned whether Trump’s arrival at the cemetery was simply a political statement — without mentioning President Joe Biden’s vacation during the anniversary.
“[I]s he politicizing these soldiers’ deaths? Should he even be at Arlington National Cemetery if he’s gonna make some politics out of this?” Acosta asked Democratic Colorado Rep. Jason Crow.

Scaramucci says he’ll do everything he can to keep Biden in White House
“This really is going to be a battle for the democracy, this one. He’s going to expand executive power. He’s going to make things rougher for people. He has already said he’s going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice,” Scaramucci said of Trump. “And so, for all of these reasons, we’ve got to help the Democrats here if he’s eventually the nominee,” he continued, referring to Trump. “I’ll be working very hard on that.” When (Jim) Acosta tried to clarify if that meant he would be backing Biden over Trump, Scarammucci said, “Well, 100 percent. No, no, you didn’t mishear me.” “If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m a patriot first, Jim, I’m a partisan second. This is a battle for the American democracy. This is a battle for freedom. When someone’s telling you they’re going to flex and be a dictator on day one and go after their adversaries, this is against the 200-plus-year experiment of America,” Scaramucci said.
