Republican Who Scolded Park Ranger At Closed WWII Memorial Hit With Ethics Complaint

A Republican member of the House of Representatives (the people responsible for the shutdown which has closed memorials such as the WWII Memorial) said a park ranger and the National Park Service should be ashamed of themselves for denying people access.

This jackass needs to look in the mirror before he tells anyone that they should be ashamed of themselves for this shutdown. It’s people like him who have caused this mess. Not the Park Service or the park ranger who was working without pay that day due to Republicans holding our government hostage.

Well, Mr. Neugebauer’s pathetic public display has landed him with an ethics complaint stating that he was trying to intimidate the park ranger with his position in Congress, to force the ranger to allow access to the memorial.

Essentially he, as a member of the House of Representatives, used his position to publicly scold the ranger in an effort to shame her enough so that she would go against rules and allow access to the WWII Memorial — even though the Republican-forced shutdown clearly prevents that from being possible.

Nothing quite like attacking an innocent park ranger for something you caused to prove what a complete prick you really are. The arrogance of this individual is reprehensible, and anyone who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves.
