Last night, Maria Shriver took to Twitter to share about her 'heartsickness' over the remodel of the East Wing of the White House. It was all very dramatic.
This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god. https://t.co/zWH6H7pOIC

Maria was heartsick and infuriated. What a combo! Poor lady. Thankfully, Salena Zito was ready to swoop in and remind Maria about some of her own family history.
Media was so enthralled with Jackie Kennedy's White House restoration they televised it; per the @JFKLibraryFdn archives.

Well, look right there! It's clips of the Media praising Jackie Kennedy's White House remodel. The press could not get enough. Yes, the same Jackie Kennedy who is Maria's Aunt.
I am guessing the Ds have found another hysteria talking point, now that he No Kings party has flopped. It's a guess, because I do not understand why all their drama about this. https://t.co/jsg5yWrPkM

Particularly, when Maria's Aunt also did remodeling, but Maria wasn't sick to her heart back then about it.

And President Kennedy didn’t pay for it. Taxpayers did it. https://t.co/rW31v16lr1
Thank you President Trump for finally fixing up the old whitehouse. Ignorant people do not know the history of upgrades and thank you for Not using taxpayer money! https://t.co/u8EtpHB0jw

The media actually adores imperial presidencies.

As long as they’re the right kind of imperial presidencies.😉 https://t.co/Tms5dH8eig
They like them when they have a (D) after their names.
@mariashriver you are a hypocrite; not only did you roll over while your husband cheated, you are pretending your family's remodeling of the white House is virtuous! https://t.co/h7twywJUXv

@mariashriver the staff is going to be elated, if not relieved that they will have the kitchen & logistic theater to support elaborate functions.

It’s not $$ out of your pocket or tax payer’s pockets. Your performative outrage is pathetic. https://t.co/XPb47jsZkp
It's almost like kitchens and spaces have to be updated over the years to stay functional for events. What a concept!
Didn't Jackie Kennedy want a ballroom? But it never came to be because her husband was assassinated?

How times change
A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy was telecast by both CBS and NBC on Feb 14, 1962. It features the fawning CBS correspondent Charles Collingwood trailing after the First Lady and marveling at her interior decorating.

They would never do that with Melania. The bias is incredible.
