Rob Mercuri Puts His Allegiance To Donald Trump Ahead Of Military Families

Not even two weeks after making offensive remarks about U.S. veterans, Donald Trump is once again in the spotlight as his campaign "had a verbal and physical altercation… with an official at Arlington National Cemetery" for bringing a campaign photographer to a wreath laying ceremony.

According to cemetery officials, federal law "prohibits political campaigning or 'election-related' activities within Army cemeteries."

Rob Mercuri - who is running in a district with more than 37,000 veterans - has not only kept silent about Trump's behavior, but continued his support for the convicted felon.

With his blind allegiance to Trump and MAGA extremism, Mercuri can't be trusted to represent Western Pennsylvania's military families.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"Rob Mercuri is showing Western Pennsylvanians exactly who he is: an extreme politician who puts his allegiance to Donald Trump ahead of our military families. When will he condemn the man who exploits fallen heroes for political purposes?"
