Disgusting but true.
From the Washington Examiner:
At the World War II Memorial on The Mall in Washington, where veterans have been staging protests to keep it open, Washington Examiner’s Charlie Spiering reports that at least seven officials were dispatched Wednesday morning to set up a ring of barricades to block tourists from the memorial. That is two more security officials than the State Department had in Benghazi a year ago on the night of the terrorist attack that killed four, including the U.S. ambassador.
Obama et al. evidently believe that it’s more important to protect war memorials from patriots than to protect patriots from slaughter.

Just found out the Admin sent 7 officials to WWII Memorial this morning to secure it – 2 more than were guarding our consulate in Benghazi!

Obama ignores al Qaeda attacking Americans in Benghazi but rushes to block vets from their own WW2 Memorial? SCUM! Pure evil scum!

Somehow during a shutdown, Obama sent more men to barracade a WW2 memorial than to #Benghazi to rescue our people. pic.twitter.com/4oSyyDPi9d
