Rand Paul: Government Sent "Goons" to Block Vets From WWII Memorial

Your petty, vindictive, partially shut down government

Sen. Rand Paul blasted the federal government for trying to block World War II vets from visiting their memorial, saying "some idiot in government sent goons out there to set up barricades."

"If Harry Reid and the President want to keep the parks closed— I mean did you read the story today? Some idiot in government sent goons out there to set up barricades, so they couldn't see the monument. People had to spend hours setting up barricades where there are never barricades to prevent people from seeing the World War II monument because they're trying to play a charade," Rand (R-Ky.) said Tuesday on Fox News's "Hannity."
