Trump’s Ugly New Rant on Arlington Fiasco Shows Dark Side of MAGA Rage
As Trump lies about his campaign's improper use of Arlington cemetery, a writer who has explored this scandal's darker subtexts explains what it says about MAGA's politics of bullying and retribution.
In a rant on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Donald Trump floated a new absurdity about his campaign’s use of Arlington National Cemetery as a political setting.

We think this turn in the story exposes something dark about MAGA. So we talked to David Kurtz, the executive editor of Talking Points memo and author of several good pieces on the scandal, who explains what it reveals about the role of bullying and violence in MAGA politics.
