During Friday morning's edition of Morning Joe, Willie Geist criticized Donald Trump and his team's response to the Arlington National Cemetery controversy.
Trump recently pulled off a stunt at Arlington, one of the most hallowed grounds in America. After facing criticism over both the actions and the behavior of his campaign team toward the cemetery staff, he did what he always does: doubled down on the bad behavior.
After noting that the Trump team is now attacking an employee who complained about their behavior, Geist remarked:
"At the end of the day, the behavior is grotesque. Ask yourself, knowing what we know about Donald Trump for these last ten years at least, go back further if you want, if you believe an employee at Arlington National Cemetery, sacred ground of the United States, trying to enforce rules that restrict video and political ads inside a cemetery, or Donald Trump and his campaign and the people who are saying, that this person was mentally ill, throwing that out there, that they were having some kind of a mental health episode, and not just doing his or her job."
The host continued, "It tells you something, that this employee did not want to press charges. The employee didn't want his or her name attached to something because he or she knew the threats that would come with that from Trump's side."
