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.”

... and all the work was done at no expense to the taxpayers.
Eichenwald? Sounds like a German NAZI name to me.
Kurt Eichenwald thinks the ‘White House’ belongs to liberal ‘elites’ - and that the history of ‘elites’ matters.
As far as tearing down statues and monuments that conservatives value - like those of Lincoln - it doesn’t matter to them because they see us as less than human - less than they are.
Kurt Eichenwald’s a typical democrat thug who would snatch a MAGA hat off a seven year old, kick a truck driver in the head when he was already unconscionable, or applaud a below the belt release of information about mean comments a sister made years ago... during the week a beloved brother died.
We know his type. We’ve all known thug democrats - is there any other kind?
Too bad it wasn’t fatal.
This isn’t satire. It’s real, and the fool is ranting against not a total redesign, but a restoration to the original plan from 1962!
Makes no difference. He got what he wanted: a gratuitous stab at the Trumps and some social media high-fives from Leftist filth just like him.

Who Is Paying for the Rose Garden Renovation?
The entire project is being funded by private donations, according to a source familiar with the plan. Donations were solicited by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit entity that often helps source financing for large restoration and upkeep projects for some of Washington’s most important public outdoor spaces.
No taxpayer money is allotted for the renovation, according to a White House official.

I saw the before and after. There’s no comparison because the tulips etc. only last a couple of weeks then they will be gone until next year. The various roses will probably rebloom all season. I started to read the study done by multiple experts but didn’t finish it. Anyway, the Rose Garden has changed many times over the years. I don’t know why Eichenwald got his shorts in a wad.
I sees youse guyz playin dum ovrdare.
Where was this jerk when our statues were coming down.
Oh I know, probably under his bed.
Another one of those Jewish Episcopalians. A unificiation of liberalism.
American as apple strudel.
Ever heard this song?

She really isn't remembered much for being JFK's wife. 8>)
Omg. What a frickin irrelevant moron.
Why is Fox News even discussing this?
Eichenwald sounds a lot like Buchenwald...just sayin’
It is Anti-Trump. Fox has been Anti-Trump since 2018.
Foreign? Golly, what happened to “diversity”?
So funny, since, other than tech upgrades, she went back to a Kennedy design. Is the reporter too young to know that?
If true, he can ESAD.....I’m sure he found fault with “64” teeth when she planted a vegetable garden.....or not....these people are unbearable!
