misleading headline.

In a statement to NPR, Arlington National Cemetery said it "can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed."

that is the extent of the gvt statement, in this article at least.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.

the source is the venerable "source with knowledge of the incident".

chance of trumps people being complete aholes bullying people around like goons is 100% - but that headline, man.

The current NPR headline at least is the much more anodyne "Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery"
