Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders.

"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," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday.

Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.

Destroying what others have built is a favorite activity of the left....Just like the Taliban.

LOL....If Trump released a cure for lung cancer, dems would ban it and start chain smoking just out of spite, and the MSM would start running segments on how smoking is good for you.

That would be frigging awesome.

We're talking about Democrats here, not tRumplings. They will put the east wing back.

Trump is putting the East wing back, plus a ballroom. You going to tear down the new East Wing too?

 

[WorldWatcher]

Since it's a government building...

Anyone have a link to the RFP and submissions?

To low human capital, it would seem like a reasonable request. To mature adults, wasting millions in taxpayer dollars to tear down a brand new building out of spite is exactly what it looks like, childish and irresponsible, but unfortunately, that's most of you out there today isn't it.

The desecration cannot be allowed to stand.

 

[Crepitus]

And the carveouts and taxpayer funding and the fact that it would take decades to finish?

Those are just wishful thinking on your part.

I doubt it as they are Virginia firms....I know Clark Construction isn't union but can't say about the other firms.

Virginia firm to build $200M White House ballroom co-funded by Trump - Virginia Business

The White House announced Thursday that it would add a $200 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom to the people's mansion.

The company explicitly states it hires both union and non-union employees

 

[Harry Dresden]

A reasonable request.

who would pay for the demolition and who would pay for the replacement?...

Desecration? It's a government building, not a ******* church!

 

[Eman623]

Those are just wishful thinking on your part.

Right, because blue state governments always complete projects under budget and ahead of schedule.

You mean the way they started started popping Tylenol.

One thing leftardz never need is "more ballroom."

They are particularly adept at high speed trains. LOL

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Well be able to see orange man tear it up in the ball room soon with some dance!

You need to grow up.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Democrats have always had a simplistic view of things, but now with Trump's second term, they are literally acting like children.

 

[Crepitus]

who would pay for the demolition and who would pay for the replacement?...

A lawsuit against the tRump estate.

Desecration can apply to things other than religious objects.

As often as red state governments do, kid.

Sure, at taxpayer expense and DEI hires no doubt. It'll take 20 years and end up looking like the POS Obama is putting up.
