TED CRUZ STATEMENT: President Obama blocks WW II vets from their memorial to FORCE Obamacare on American people

Ted Cruz just released a statement on the WWII vets being barred by the White House during the government shutdown from paying respects at their own memorial:

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) made the following statement today regarding Obamacare, the government “shutdown,” and the World War II Memorial:

“President Obama is so fixated on forcing Obamacare on the American people that he’s even willing to deny World War II veterans the right to access the memorial they have earned through their heroic service.

“This scenario encapsulates the bigger problem in Washington. President Obama is so set on imposing his destructive, far-left ideology that his government is literally barricading World War II veterans out of their memorial and blocking funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“The House is on track today to pass individual CRs to fund Veterans Affairs and National Monuments, but Senator Reid and President Obama say they refuse to consider them, even though they agreed to pass a similar CR covering military pay on Monday night.

“This is untenable and our veterans deserve much better, especially our disabled vets. During this debate we should focus on those areas of agreement and pass those CRs. That’s the practical way to proceed and the House deserves great credit for its leadership.”
