I wonder which MORON came up with the plan to barricade it? It is well known that Mount Vernon is privately owned, and always has been. How did they sit there and decide to send NPS goons there to close off access? And the NPS people ought to have known it is private property too.
Stunning.
My Son-in-Law was driving US 1 into the City of Alexandria today, and saw that some Park Police had attempted to place barriers across US 1, and had given up. They were standing with their arms crossed, barriers knocked down.
I can’t confirm this, but apparently some moron in the White House had maybe looked at a real old map of the district and somehow gotten the idea that portions of Old Town Alexandria was Federal Property?
