A Fox News co-host offered a blistering take on President Donald Trump’s plans for a White House ballroom Thursday, suggesting that the controversy surrounding the project is being used to obscure the ways his administration is ignoring suffering Americans while the government is at a standstill.
Jessica Tarlov, a Democratic strategist who co-hosts “The Five” on Fox News, deemed the ballroom “a monstrosity,” noting it was “nothing like any of the other renovations” taken on by past presidents and “almost double the size of the White House itself.”
Still, she said she was using her airtime to shift the focus back to the government shutdown, now in its fourth week, as well as criticism over the president’s support for increasing low-tariff beef imports from Argentina to ease record beef prices in the U.S.
“Trump and [White House press secretary] Karoline Leavitt and the whole administration would rather that this is what we’re focused on, and it’s really getting away from the real stories of the moment,” Tarlov explained. “We are in the midst of a government shutdown. The Republican caucus from New Jersey wrote to Mike Johnson, saying, ‘You’ve got to make a short-term deal. Our constituents cannot handle these ACA premium hikes.’ Our farmers are losing their businesses. No soybeans coming out of America.”
She went on to note: “Those are the stories of what is happening in America today. That is how Donald Trump’s administration is hurting everyday Americans, most of whom voted for him.”
