War Memorial Blasts Amy McGrath for 'Prohibited' Campaign Rally

McGrath did not clear campaign rally with memorial

A war memorial in Kentucky admonished Democratic Senate candidate Amy McGrath for holding a campaign event at the site, saying, "political rallies have never been allowed."

Staff members at the Greenup County War Memorial immediately rebuked the Kentucky Democrat for exploiting the site for political purposes. Just hours after McGrath's Wednesday event, leaders said in a Facebook post the memorial "is a place to remember and celebrate veterans."

"It is not affiliated [with], nor does it support any political candidates or parties. Any political rallies are prohibited on the War Memorial property," officials said.

According to the Facebook post, McGrath did not contact the memorial prior to the event, which was held Wednesday afternoon.

"Political rallies are not allowed, and have never been allowed. We did not have prior knowledge of her coming or we would have told her prior to arrival that she could not hold a political rally at the memorial, as we have told other political parties," the post said.

  2. Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission, right?

  3. The day a political figure can’t share her message at “a place to remember and celebrate veterans” is the day America died.

    1. It is a private memorial, not publicly funded or owned.

  4. I hope Democrats defend her, but I doubt it. That would mean they were defending America. She should probably be a Republican.
