Trump campaign flagged for repeated spelling errors in Arlington cemetery statements

0

Donald Trump has been criticized for potentially unlawful actions while visiting an Arlington military cemetery, and on Saturday reporters noted that the former president's campaign has also made numerous spelling errors in its statements attempting to clean up the mess.

Raw Story recently reported that Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, demanded a "full account" of a reported incident between Donald Trump and his campaign and their collective appearance this week at Arlington National Cemetery.

Trump faced intense backlash following the reported physical altercation with a cemetery official and faced questions over whether his presidential campaign violated federal law banning campaign materials from being photographed or filmed in certain sections of the cemetery.

NewsNation's Libbey Dean reported on Saturday that the "Trump campaign misspelled cemetery in a statement release from [Republican Senator Tom Cotton] on Trump’s Visit to Arlington National Cemetery."

The title of the statement, available on Trump's website, says that it is a "statement from Senator Tom Cotton on President Trump’s Visit to Arlington National Cemetary."

Hugo Lowell, senior political correspondent for the Guardian, added that it wasn't the first spelling error in the campaign's Arlington National Cemetery response.

"Not clear whether the Trump campaign had greater difficulty this week with spelling or cleaning up the Arlington debacle," he wrote. "First they were on 'hollowed [sic] grounds' and now they were at 'Arlington National Cemetary [sic].'"
