Article PhotoConflict over the responsibility for the government shutdown got personal at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Wednesday when a member of Congress confronted a U.S. Park Service Ranger over access to the closed park land.
The congressman was Randy Neugebauer, a Republican representing Texas. He confronted the ranger in the middle of a crowd of tourists as she was keeping most of the public out of the closed World War II memorial.
The Park Service has been allowing World War II vets who have traveled from all over the country to enter the memorial, even though it's closed during the government shutdown; the rangers say they are exercising their First Amendment rights as they let the veterans in.
But they are keeping the rest of the public out of the facility, which is officially closed. And that did not sit well with the congressman, reported News4's Mark Segraves, who witnessed the confrontation.
this guy represents Texas so we can understand his lack of information he's blaming a officer doing their job and enforcing something that the congressman and his party created, pot kettle syndrome.
this guy is complaining because the ranger let the vets in and not others, they shut down DC which would have kept the vets out had it not been for a compassionate ranger.  typical right wing ploy they do the dirt then try to sweep in on our shoes, now it's on video tape stupid and te brownie points he thought he would get shut down like the gov't.
