Rep. Don Beyer on Trump’s Proposed Arch: ‘This Abomination to One Man’s Ego Disrespects Every Service Member Who’s Buried There’

‘It is a disgrace’

EXCERPT:

BEYER: “I’ve introduced a bill to block it. 80 cosponsors, soon to have to 200 cosponsors. Or leadership is determined to stop Trump from stealing the power of the purse to build this arch. We’re not going to let him get away with this, because we know this arch has nothing to do with national security and it certainly isn’t about celebrating our country or celebrating our fallen heroes. It’s about building an arch, a dramatic enduring structure to the only thing he cares about, himself. And that’s why we’re fighting him. We have the law, we have the moral right. And we have the good of our country on our side. We’re going to win this. Thank you for all who are fighting the arch. Thank you.”
