Eric Swalwell Calls On 2028 Democratic Nominees To Pledge To Destroy Trump's 'Monument To Corruption' Ballroom

 Democratic Underground Forums  

"But wait, I thought the ballroom was an abomination that needed to be ripped down? Now you want to put Obama's name on it? And that stops it from being an abomination? Getting people to donate to the U.S. equals "corruption." But soaking the taxpayer for all their money or billions for Ukraine is looking out for their interests."   Nick Arama

Leavitt said the ballroom will be "substantially separated" from the main building of the White House, yet "its theme and architectural heritage will be almost identical." 

"Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) proposed a stiff litmus test for any Democrat who hopes to be elected president in 2028: pledge to destroy Donald Trump’s $300 million ballroom.

"Swalwell posted to X on Sunday, “Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE.”

"In a follow-up tweet, he added, “Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand.”

"Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House over the period of a week to make way for the proposed 90,000 square-foot ballroom designed to accommodate some 1,000 seated guests. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the ballroom “a much-needed and exquisite addition.”“The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building’s entrance,” Leavitt said." . . .

You Won't Believe What Swalwell Wants Done to Trump Ballroom - Dems Are Truly Lost     . . . "I thought Hillary's response was the worst, given the many ways her family did the White House wrong. But it seems that Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) wants to challenge her with his entry. He wants to make it a litmus test for 2028 Democrat candidates for president that they will pledge to tear down the ballroom. 

"So let's see. Swalwell wants Democrats to run on wrecking something that we got for free. Something that even the Washington Post editorial board said was needed — that even Biden and Obama officials were acknowledging privately was needed." 

Whatever happened to a Democrat Party that could govern a nation? TD
