People are getting mad.

GOP Rep. Randy Neugebauer Confronts Park Service Ranger at WWII Memorial: You Ought to Be 'Ashamed'
On Wednesday afternoon at the Word War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) confronted a female U.S. Park Service Ranger as she was preventing non-veteran tourists from entering the temporarily-closed park due to this week's government shutdown. "How do you look at them and deny them access?" Neugebauer asked the unidentified ranger. "I don't get that." In his breast pocket, he carried a small American flag.

"It's difficult," the ranger responded.

"Well, it should be difficult," the congressman shot back.

"It is difficult," she reiterated. "I'm sorry, sir."

"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," Neugebauer insisted.

"I'm not ashamed," the ranger replied.

A few onlookers got involved in the conversation, including one federal employee wearing a bike helmet. "This woman is doing her job, just like me," he told the congressman. "I'm a 30-year federal veteran. I'm out of work."

"Well, the reason you are is because [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid decided to shut down the government," Neugebauer said to the man.

"No, it's because the government won't do its job and pass a budget," the onlooker said before the congressman turned and walked away.

"The House did its job," another onlooker chimed in. "It passed appropriations; the Senate hasn't."

The Texan Republican was one of many House GOP members who voted to pass a government funding bill that would also delay the implementation of Obamacare. Senate Democrats and the White House would not agree to those terms, resulting in no budget and the shutting down of non-essential government functions.

Got it here.

There is a call for an ethics violation investigation against Neugebauer.
