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.

But the ‘piskies are OK? I want to be as woke as you, so I need to know the PC rules. “ He has stated that, “I have been called “kike,” “Jew” and “anti-American Zionist,” even though I’m Episcopalian with a Jewish father”. https://www.newsweek.com/epileptogenic-pepe-video-507417
He’s also the guy that had a guy charged with state and federal felonies because he was sent a tweet. The federal charges got poured out pretty quickly.
Thank you for the details.
Ingoring the settlements in Virginia (1607) and Florida (1565)? But, you can't be talking about Plymouth (1620).
But idiots like this douchebag werent upset we may have had an illegitimate President!
Although I do have viking blood, no. My people came in through Jamestown.... The first colony, heard of it? We weren’t a country yet.
Buddy, we weren’t a country until 1776.... Or more appropriately when the Constitution was ratified in 1788.
Thanks for that observation.
I can see how it is true. The effort expended to write a book is huge. Most good ones take literally years to compile.
I assume the tulips are gone, replaced with actual rose bushes. In other words, they will be blooming no more. 8>)
NYT; the garbage news source of the analverse.
The NYT hates conservatives with disabilities but loves liberals with disabilities. Eichenwald, no longer with the NYT, hates everybody, possibly including himself.
It is a destruction of our history, ....”
Does he have any comment about all the statues and memorials currently being destroyed and vandalized across the country?
Kurt Buchenwald - er, Eichenwald.
That oasis of color are tulips that last about 2 seconds and then become an oasis of DEAD tulips!!!
He sticks his nose in the air...one of those.
Xenophobic. Progressives are Masters Of Projection
He’s also the guy that was paying underage male prostitutes online.
He is in the NYT and Democrat Party Hall of Fame then. And probably has to wear an adult diaper.
“...said it was a tribute to Bunny Melon..who did it under JFK.”
ANOTHER mistress of JFK?
From the internet. Those Trump folks are just EVIL:
“As part of the changes to the rose garden, Melania Trump added limestone walkways which make the White House Rose Garden more handicap-accessible. The 3-foot-wide walking path bordering the central lawn was a more noticeable change, accompanying less noticeable changes like improved drainage and infrastructure to make the garden more accessible for people with disabilities, USA Today reported.”
The thing that caught my eye in the before and after photos was the removal of trees in the row of plantings next to the White House. The columns and windows are more visible and prominent - I like it.
They took out about a dozen crab apple trees and planted them elsewhere on the grounds.
