Adrienne Elrod: It’s ‘Absolutely Devastating’ to Watch an Area of the W.H. Be Demolished as Some Crummy Old Building
RUSH EXCERPT:
ELROD: "Yeah Well, it certainly seems like it‘s not right. Now, Jake. I mean, look, I think joan is exactly right. When you are the average voter, the average swing voter, I should. Say. Who was trying to decide what who to vote for in this last election and ultimately came down on the side of Trump because you thought your grocery bills were too high, your medicine, the cost of medicine was too high, your gasoline was too high, and you wanted to, you know, sort of, you know, send a sign to Washington that you wanted to shake things up. Now you‘re looking at this and you‘re saying, okay, Donald Trump asked for $260 million for the Department of Justice or pretty much demanded it because he said that the DoJ, as in the taxpayers of America, owe him this money. He‘s done nothing to address the cost of of goods and services in this country. In fact, if anything, costs have gone up and then you also, you know, put on top of that the fact that he is going to all of these companies and saying, you know, corporations and saying, give me money to tear down and redo the east wing. So it looks like the Trump ballroom at Mar-a-Lago or whatever he wants it to look like. If you‘re the average person, you‘re saying, you know what? One of the reasons why I voted for him is I thought he was going to help me and my family with costs and said he is catering to billionaires. Billionaires are catering to him. And if there‘s one thing, Jake, that we know that works in messaging for either party, for just any American, it is when you are paid, you are serving in elected office and you are catering to to billionaires over middle class families. That never works. This is only going to make things worse for him. But also, Jake, just as a citizen of America who has had the opportunity and the privilege to work in the white White House during three separate administrations, it is absolutely devastating to me to watch an area of the white White House that I‘ve spent a lot of time in, and millions of Americans have to just be demolished, as if it was just some crummy old building that you know, contractors are coming in and tearing down at Trump‘s demands."
