Former New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald slammed first lady Melania Trump for renovating the White House Rose Garden saying on Saturday that he is “furious” she is “a foreigner,” sparking pushback from other journalists.
“It is a destruction of our history, something no other First Lady would have had the gall to do,” Eichenwald, a New York Times bestselling author, tweeted on Saturday, “This is the first time I have been furious that @FLOTUS is a foreigner. She has no right to wreck our history.”
Eichenwald made the comments reacting from a tweet from the first lady on Saturday, which featured photos of the renovations.
Melania Trump, who grew up in Slovenia and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, posted the tweet on the same day the work on the garden, which took three weeks to complete, was showcased to reporters.
Eichenwald, who spent two decades as a senior writer at The New York Times, also tweeted on Saturday, “I still find it unbelievable that @FLOTUS who has only been a citizen since the middle of GW Bush's second term had the audacity to wreck the Rose Garden, to pull up history dating back a lifetime.”
“These trashy, evil, stupid people need to get out of our house,” he continued. “What GALL she has.”

Irony: Democrats and journalists wreck our history daily. Especially his employer.
Darn you, Babylon Bee! You almost got me on this one. That sounds EXACTLY like something some deranged Leftist would say.
I did a search and got nothing..
.CNN Anchor Jake Tapper agreed with Hasan writing in a tweet, “This is xenophobic and wrong. It’s bigotry.”
Eichenwald added in another tweet responding to some of the criticism that, “Someone who has only been a citizen for less than 1/3 of her life should be reverent to America’s history, should honor our history, not decide her personal taste should rip it up.”
On Tuesday night, Melania Trump is expected to deliver her Republican National Convention speech from the Rose Garden, which is famous for its close proximity to the Oval Office.

What's the news value in that?
I seem to recall him being one of the more deranged “journalists.” Perhaps it was Tweets of his from past years?
Herr Eichenwald has the IQ of a gnat!
Now I’m curious what it looked like before renovation.
The Obamas’ White House Lie-brary shelf was stocked full of Communist texts and was far more destructive to our nation’s history and traditions.
In other words, "How DARE you?"
These people are deranged. Clinically.
Shouldn’t that tweet be directed at the Squad?
Search for his name in titles here. He is an unstable idiot: http://freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=Kurt%20Eichenwald
Isn’t this Eichenwald fella the same guy who several years ago claimed somebody caused him to have a seizure through his Twitter? Anyway, this guy is a triggered nutcase.
Since Bush wrecked it and Obama fixed it that kinda says everything
Let's see, where is that picture of the illegal grabbing his crotch and flipping the bird. I wonder if he's a "foreigner". It's hard not to hate democrats.
Its a GARDEN..seriously is that idiot making a fuss about a freakin GARDEN..just goes to show commies have absolutely NO life..empty heads
So, this lefty is anti LEGAL immigrant! Got it!
SOMEbody's not cuckoo.
I am not really paying attention to this story but the headlines I saw in foreign press said it was a tribute to Bunny Melon..who did it under JFK
so not sure how that is not being reverent to our history.
Certainly he's speaking of Ilhan Omar, no?
