Eric Bolling rips ‘biased’ media for criticizing Trump’s ‘honorable’ Arlington cemetery visit

WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump certainly 'should' utilize images and footage from his visit to Arlington National Cemetery in a television advertisement, contended Trump supporter and commentator Eric Bolling recently, in a video that criticized media coverage as biased and horrendous.

The ex-host from Fox News and Newsmax posted a video on X criticizing the media for focusing on Trump's cemetery visit controversy, rather than covering President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' alleged neglect to commemorate the military personnel who perished in the suicide bombing at Kabul airport's Abbey Gate three years ago this week.

Eric Bolling slams media for focusing on Donald Trump’s Arlington visit instead of Joe Biden’s silence

“The mainstream media is so biased. It’s awful. It’s terrible,” Eric Bolling began his video by focusing on several examples to underscore his argument.

He mentioned the Arlington wreath-laying by Trump, who received an invitation from the families of the fallen soldiers and has been defended by them against Democratic criticisms this week, Mediaite reported.

Bolling noted that the media concentrated solely on whether Trump's visit was a photo opportunity to further his campaign, rather than focusing on Biden, Harris, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, because “it’s their fault those people died.”

 

He also criticized Biden for being on vacation once more as the anniversary of military deaths passed without his comment.

In the clip, Eric Bolling also tackled CBS' claims that there was no political motive behind the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and discussed Politico's portrayal of JD Vance's comments at a Michigan rally as an attempt to "tether" Vice President Kamala Harris to President Joe Biden, with whom she has served for the past four years and was running alongside until his withdrawal.

He said, "They’re not worried about the things that really matter. And I will give you a great example. What they’re really worried about is somehow some way an aide or an assistant or an adviser to President Trump was rolling the camera when he went to Arlington Cemetery to lay a wreath for the 13 soldiers on the third anniversary of their horrendous death at the hands of general humiliation because he screwed it up so badly."

He further added, "The US State Department, Anthony Blinken and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It’s their fault those people died because they bungled the Afghan Afghanistan pullout. And instead of pointing out that Trump was there putting a wreath on, in honor of the 13 soldiers, they’re worried about whether there’s a camera rolling or whether Trump is using it as a commercial right now."

The 61-year-old commentator said, "He should use it as commercial! It was honorable what he did! Where was Joe? Where were Kamala? Well Joe was on a beach in Rehoboth Beach for two weeks. He’s been on vacation for two weeks. He couldn’t get his a** off the beach and drive a couple hours. Or have used Marine One, landed, drop it right into Arlington Cemetery and honor the 14 or 13 soldiers."

"I honor those people. Instead, the media wants to blame Trump for using it as a fundraising opportunity. Listen, you do it. I mean, it’s far better than some of the things they’re doing lying through their teeth," Bolling concluded.

Internet ridicules Eric Bolling

Eric Bolling was slammed on social media for arguing that Donald Trump should use images and video from his visit to Arlington National Cemetery in a TV commercial.

A user wrote talking of Bolling, "You’re as dumb and stupid as Trump."

Another added, "Eric: It wasn't just his blatant disregard for the well established rules at Arlington. The big smile with that clownish thumbs up that Trump gave standing beside the headstones of heroes...Was repulsive."

One commentator said, "Eric loved when Trump surrendered to the Taliban, released 5,000 of its terrorists, drew down our force by 95% & invited the Taliban to Camp David to celebrate its 9/11 attack on America. Not one word from Eric the fraud on the 60 soldiers who died under Trump. How come you fraud?"

"It's, literally, illegal to do a campaign photo op at Arlington you spectacular moron," a person remarked.

Someone else said, "More dumb mediocre white speak with the usual nonsense and utter lies."
