Democrat Chuck Schumer danced around the truth on Thursday. He's pretty nimble for a guy in his 70s. He purposely conflated the donor-backed construction of a $200 million ballroom at the White House with wasteful government spending.
Here’s Schumer and then White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt setting the record straight. (WATCH)
Schumer: Implies the $200M White House ballroom is government waste.

Leavitt: It’s funded entirely by Trump and private donors.

All @TheDemocrats do is lie in every way possible.

It’s all they have at this point.
Commenters were wondering how Schumer did not know the ballroom construction was being covered by generous donations.
How did he not know that? I did.

He does. He chose his words carefully. Note how he didn’t come out and say it was government funded.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) July 31, 2025
He implied it.
Typical way they lie.
It's The oldest trick in the book: "what if I told you it was funded by taxpayers." Of course it isn't but the "what if" implies it's true.

He never chooses his own words, they’re written for him! 🙄

Correct. Schumer has aides and interns who write his lies for him whenever he’s going to be in front of cameras.

Posters note Democrats are straining to find anything real to moan about.

Pinocchio Chuckie knows he’s intentionally lying.

He knows who paid for the Ballroom.
He’s just assuming YOU’RE too stupid to know.
New York…you can do SO much better.
That’s the mistake Democrats always make. They assume we’re as gullible and stupid as their voters. We’re not sorry to disappoint them.
