"The View" co-anchor Meghan McCain on Thursday blasted Sen Rand Paul (R-Ky.) after he objected to legislation to extend the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, calling Paul's actions "un-American" and a "disgrace."

"It’s why people hate libertarians, because they get so out in front of their skis and so ideologically pure that they don’t see the forest for the trees," McCain said on the ABC program. "Give 9/11 responders whatever the hell they want, please."

Guess Meghan McCain clearly doesn't care about being conservative and stopping overspending. Wonder where she got that line of thinking from?
 
This only gets airplay because they call it a bill for 911 victims fund. If it was called "Unlimited spending for all government programs through 2090", this narrative-framing wouldn't be possible.
 
So there wasnt funding for first responders? Their running into danger and facing great personal risk/harm was somehow overlooked by them, and their government?

What a shame - and we're expected to compensate them after the fact? What about all the other first responders that are still risking their lives?

I got an idea, how about we make the saudi's fund that bill? I mean, they funded the terrorists, seems like they should pay for the damage too.
