"This is so stupid, Jones started off by saying. He then explained, in his estimation, that the majority of people think about the front-facing center section of the White House, which goes on currency and has been commemorated in several other ways. The East Wing, he said, has not received anywhere near the same amount of love until this past week, when liberals were suddenly upset about it being torn down."
"Nobody cares about a section of the White House that wouldn't matter to anyone anyway if it weren't a TV show called The West Wing,' which draws in the question, What's the East Wing?' I mean, people do not care about this, Jones said. That comment drew a laugh from co-host Tomi Lahren. Nobody concerned about their life in politics cares about what that looks like!"
"The Fox News segment comes after Trump's new ballroom was thoroughly covered by the media this week. Trump has championed the fact that taxpayers are not paying for a dime of the ballroom; instead it is being funded by private donors and donations from companies like Apple and Amazon. The president also joked that the beautiful sound of construction being done on the new ballroom reminded me of money even if it was money being spent."
The White House East Wing was demolished to create a new $300 million ballroom financed by private donors, including companies such as Apple and Amazon. Conservative commentators dismissed liberal objections as overblown and argued that most Americans associate the White House with its front-facing central section, not the East Wing. Critics noted the East Wing had received little public attention until the recent controversy. Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized the project, and opponents pointed to her limited protest when statues of Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers were removed. The president emphasized that taxpayers were not footing the bill and joked that construction noise 'reminded me of money.'
