The president is now tearing down part of the White House. No review, no public hearings, no authorization to do so. Another example of the Republicans totally capitulating to an authoritarian who’s refusing to follow the rules. The lack of pride of the Republican Congress to fulfill their role in governing our country has been obvious since January. Tearing down the People’s House without a peep from them … is a disgrace. It’s again obvious they have no self-respect. It’s now obvious the meme the president posted about dumping on the American people on Oct. 18 wasn’t a meme. It was a promise that is now underway in the destruction of the White House. How can Republicans ever hold their heads up again?
