Former NYT reporter blasts Melania Trump's White House Rose Garden redo: I'm 'furious' she is 'a foreigner'
Fox News ^ | August 23,2020 | By Talia Kaplan

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.”

Liberals use to be so tolerant of foreigners. In fact, they LOVED Europeans. Their world has LEFT them.

The moron clearly didn’t look into the story enough to realize that, instead of “wrecking our history,” the whole intent of the renovation was to restore the Rose Garden to its original 1962 design from the JFK era.

Yeah. I really don’t know. But then, I’m sure to find out. Like many other things over the last few years. I thought I was pretty savvy but sometimes, people come up with words I never heard (coon) or things I didn’t know happened (usually homo related).

I think the first pic is ‘before’ and ‘after’ and the remaining photo gallery are of the after. Basically restored it to JFK ‘62 design of all roses instead of mixed flowers.

It’s great when a leftist with no filter speaks out. The truth of their ideology is laid bare...

I thought these people loved foreigners. Oh that’s right, only illegal foreigners.

The picture with the color tulips was taken in early spring. Typically, tulips bloom for only two to three weeks. The picture on the right was taken in late summer. A fair comparison of before and after should be photos taken at the same time of year.

The bulk of the media stations could be dissolved in acid and never be missed.

It would be refreshing to no longer hear their lies. We don’t need them.

And they don’t exist to inform us, they exist to be paid to deceive us.

Yes. Media is full of themselves. The public is not impressed.

Also, it's adding accessibility for people with disabilities, and modernizing the electrical and sprinkler systems.

Why does the NYT hate people with disabilities?

Well, as a CITIZEN whose ancestry goes back to BEFORE the founding of this country AND whose ancestors fought at Valley Forge and elsewhere in the American Revolution, I AM PROUD AND HAPPY to have Melania Trump as my first lady and to discover she has graciously and beautifully restored the Rose Garden.
