This is what we have to look forward to happening inside the ballroom…

I can’t. Just can’t.

Yep.

Senator Josh Hawley dismantles CNN’s narrative about President Trump’s White House renovation during a live interview.

When reporter Manu Raju asked: “What about just uprooting the—you know—this is an iconic building?”

@HawleyMO
exposed their faux outrage instantly:

“Manu, I will just say this. I made this point yesterday, that I hear all of a sudden from my liberal friends that they’re very concerned about our history.”

“Really?”

“These are the same people who tore down every statue they could get their hands on in the last four years.”

“Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt.”

“They didn’t have any concern for history then. Now all of a sudden, they’re like, oh, the facade of the East Wing is iconic.”

“Oh give me a break!”

“I mean, give me a break.”

Hawley's full of shit. Our Columbus, Jefferson and Roosevelt statues are just fine. He's thinking of the confederate statues.

White House East Wing will be torn down fully to make way for Trump ballroom

thus completely breaking Chump's pledge to not interfere with the existing U.S. landmark.

A future president should tear that sh!t down since it was funded by a bunch of billionaires anyway. Who tf would want some glorified pool house to overshadow the main house?

Nobody cares expect you. It will be amazing and everyone will love it and the democrats will be making shady deals in it in no time.

Do you think there is only one poster who is against this?

He got rid of the home Depot tiles

Particularly while many workers for the govt are required to work without pay.

Do you think MAGA-ts care?

DP here. I’m hoping the broke ones do. The ones who are about the be totally screwed.

There are many hotels in DC and surrounding areas. 1000 people coming in for an event would not be a blip. They would park at their hotels or fly in and take cabs/ubers and they would take cab/uber/walk/limo to the event. This aspect of the issue is a nothingburger. But tearing down a historic structure on the white house complex is a big deal.

Trump said "We determined that, after really a tremendous amount of study with some of the best architects in the world, we determined that really knocking it down" [was the best course of action].

What I want to know is who are these architects?

Really? Columbus, Jefferson, and Roosevelt untouched?

A google search will find many examples of the removal of Columbus statues. Here is just one:

And, Thomas Jefferson removed, as well:

But, the East wing is "iconic?"

I appreciate Hawleys admission that his outrage about confederate statues was fake and performative and that he doesn’t actually care about history. But how is any of that a defense of Trump knocking down the East Wing of the White House?

This is what the inside of the ballroom will look like.

A simple google search provides the answer.

The architect designing the new White House ballroom is James McCrery, principal of McCrery Architects. The project, which involves demolishing the East Wing to build a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom, is being funded by private donors. McCrery is a classical architect, and the project is being built by Clark Construction with engineering by AECOM.

And here's an article about him in an architecture newsletter.

Every professional who worked on this project must be exposed.

Undoubtedly the Epstein ballroom will be a spectacular venue for them to yuck it up in the future.
