9/11 firefighter shames Rand Paul for invoking attack after opposing help for victims

The Kentucky senator previously blocked a popular, bipartisan measure to fund the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.
Just a few months after he held up funding for 9/11 victims, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) posted a message on social media commemorating the anniversary of the attacks.
"September 11, 2001. We all remember what we were doing that day when we were attacked. We remember what we thought and felt," Paul wrote on Facebook.
"I was doing surgery that morning when I saw the news reports," he continued. "... I thought of the people trapped in the buildings. I thanked God for the bravery of those who bravely fought fires and helped rescue people."
Rob Senna, a former FDNY firefighter who served at Ground Zero, quickly called him out for the hypocrisy.

What is absolutely remarkable, is that the two right wing libertarian senators from that state, on is the speaker, if given the opportunity to de-fund firehouses in the state, and yet people in my mothers home state keep voting these two assholes into office..................fucking amazing............

But aid to 9-11 victims could be better used to give tax cuts to the rich, because capitalism.
