Soros-Backed Democrat Official Says White House Ballroom Will Be ‘Blown Up’
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Tuesday that the White House ballroom currently under construction would eventually be “blown up,”
Krasner made the remarks during the 24th annual slavery commemoration at the President’s House site on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.
The gathering centered on an exhibit examining enslaved people associated with the original presidential residence in Philadelphia. City officials and advocates have been involved in a legal dispute over interpretive panels at the location following federal changes under an executive order addressing historical exhibits.
During his remarks, Krasner contrasted the Philadelphia memorial with projects and changes taking place in Washington, D.C.
“But let me tell you what will not be here,” Krasner said. “There will not be a ballroom. There will not be a ballroom. There will not be a Kennedy Center renamed for a fool. That will not be happening.”
“What is going to be happening is in about 10 or 15 years. We are all going to be sitting here with smiles on our faces because we, thanks to Michael, and all of you will have won. They will have lost,” Krasner said.
The district attorney then said he expected to keep a piece of the ballroom on his desk following its destruction.
“And I’m going to have a paper weight sitting on my desk. You know what that paper weight’s going to be? It’s going to be a piece of the ballroom after we all blow it up,” he said.
He later repeated the prediction, telling those attending the event that they could eventually have pieces of the ballroom as well.
