You’d be hard-pressed to find one.
In case you needed any more proof that the Democrats’ attempt to block vets from visiting the WWII memorial is motivated purely by spite, this should take care of it:
Thanks to the Republican government shutdown, a group of World War II vets had to break down barricades to visit a memorial in their honor.

Our heroes are nothing but political pawns to worms like Reid. Citizens are rightly outraged:
.@SenatorReid No, you dishonest POS. The shutdown doesn't require closing off memorials. Stop using WWII veterans as political pawns.

@SenatorReid Where were you? You can supply staff to stop vets but not stand there while they walk thru their own memorial?

@SenatorReid @JammieWF Who put the barricades there, you stupid piece of garbage?

@SenatorReid This is your shutdown Senator. You are the reason it's happening and you are the one disrespecting our veterans.
