Dem Rep. Robert Garcia: The Construction of the Trump’s Ballroom Should Stop Today

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “I mean, I do. I — first, I — that ballroom, the construction should stop today. And I wish the courts were being more aggressive on that. I think we will have more power and influence on day one with the ability of the House to go to the courts. That’s something we certainly should look at. But that ballroom is going to stand as something that was built largely by corporate America and MAGA donors to appease the president. He wanted to build a monument to himself where he can host grand parties, where him and his rich billionaire donors could party and drink and enjoy their huge, large tax cuts that they gave themselves as the American people suffer, as the American people can’t afford their meal for their family on the table, and to dwarf the people’s house, I think, is something that we have to address. Nothing should dwarf a home that is meant to represent the people. And yet, this big monstrosity that was built by billionaire donors, I don’t think it should stand.”
