Politically Speaking UPDATED: King helps vets push past barricades at shuttered D.C. memorial
There was an interesting scene Tuesday morning at the World War II Memorial in Washington. A bunch of elderly military veterans, some Iowans among them, pushed past barricades that were placed at the memorial as part of the partial government shutdown that began today.
U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, was among the people cheerleading the vets.
King tweeted this message, which included a link to him smilingly holding hands with a veteran: "Proud of Story Co, IA #WWII veterans at the Memorial. They were locked out. We opened it 4 God Bless them."
But the sole Democrat running to replace King in Iowa's 4th congressional district, Jim Mowrer, was critical of King's role at the monument.
"He didn't help those people, because he was the one who put the barricades up. I'm guessing he didn't point that out to the veterans who were visiting Washington and wanted to see their national monument," Mowrer said in a Tuesday afternoon press conference in front of King's Sioux City office.
One report recounted that the veterans "ignored National Park Police instructions not to enter the site as lawmakers and tourists cheered them on." For some of the elderly visitors, it was perhaps a last chance to see the memorial, so they weren't about to let a shutdown of some services prevent them.
King, a six-term congressman, apparently played some sleight of hand to help the crew: "As Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, distracted a Park Police representative, other lawmakers and their staff helped topple the metal fences."
The Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in D.C. are also currently barricaded.
The two chambers and the President couldn't get on the same page, so there is no funding for the federal government for the new fiscal year that began Tuesday. The Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate remain at odds on passing a continuing resolution, which would fund the government at the same level as the year that expired.Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

the shutdown for me is the cost the US has to pay for being at war for the longest time now and trying to hold the prestige of being the one of the strongest militaries in the world is putting a strain on their economy.
