The two Trump campaign staffers accused of being involved in a dispute with an Arlington National Cemetery official have been identified, according to a report from NPR.
The broadcaster broke the allegations last week, revealing how two Trump staffers—whom it did not identify—got into a physical and verbal altercation with an Arlington employee who told them they couldn’t take photos in the cemetery’s Section 60.
The staffers involved in the incident were identified by a source Thursday as Justin Caporale, a deputy campaign manager, and Michel Picard, a member of the Republican nominee’s advance team.
Does anyone else really struggle with Daily Beast articles on mobile? The site is built like trash.
Edit: here’s NPR’s write up, because screw the Daily Beast’s janky ass site.

I just copy and paste the links of articles i want to read into Perplexity now.
Copy the site address and paste in archive.ph .Bypass all pay walls
Yeah, I do that from time to time, but often times I see a Daily Beast link and don’t want to deal with cutting, loading, pasting, then launching a desktop cache on a mobile device.
I’m getting into the habit of just googling the topic and looking for a news source like NPR. Something that isn’t ad blocked, and has a nice mobile UI.
Sometimes they don’t load the full article text in the DOM, and reader view only gets a truncated article, and sometimes reader view pulls up text from an adjacent article that is recommended below the fold. There site is so poorly engineered.
It’s be one thing if it was just dark patterns and roadblocks, but DM is also a buggy piece of shit that flashes and loads incorrectly even when ad blockers are off and users are signed in.
Named. Now Shame
If they could feel shame they wouldn’t have assaulted someone at Arlington National Cemetary
Not just assaulted anyone… They assaulted a woman, which seems painfully on-point for so many of the shitheels in that support base.
“A woman daring to tell us what we can and can’t do? How dare she!” You know that shit went through their heads, and probably exited their mouths.
Actually not too concerned about shaming, but rather, they should get a visit from the FBI, and or appropriate police type persons. Information should be gathered, and charges should be filed. Subsequent court case, etc, etc, given that we live in a civilized society, and we already have procedures for this sort of activity.
So now we have names, where are the liberal, stochastically-driven terrorists? Nada? Nothing to be seen but bullshit on the high road.
These two should be hounded non-stop, driven from public life and desperately trying to hide in anonymity. But no, can’t use their tactics. We have to be better! No. We do NOT.
Michel Picard - Unlike the above cretin, not finding a certain match. For now.
Now name the Person they Assaulted so I, as a Patriotic Republican, can Direct my Anger at the APPROPRIATE PEOPLE namely the Arlington Staff who tried to UPHOLD the LAW and DIGNITY of the Cemetery!
Darkest timeline when a Picard is involved with Trump. Guess the future reality is really shitty because we didn’t get the Riots the other day.
