One of the many ways Democrats continue to prove how pathetic they’ve become, and how they have no ideas to better the lives of regular Americans, is their endless attempts to scandalize Trump administration projects intended to repair and beautify the nation’s capital.
It baffles me that cleaning up Columbus Circle, outside the major D.C. travel hub, Union Station, is somehow controversial. Democrats would rather the fountain was still covered in pro-Hamas graffiti and didn’t, you know, actually work.
They’ve really worked themselves into a lather over Trump’s actions to reseal the bottom of the iconic Reflecting Pool and fix leaks. The pool lies in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall. The effort has not been without its setbacks, as algae entered the chat and turned parts of the water green, much to the delight of the anti-Trump crowd.
But who in the world would celebrate that? TDS-riddled leftists, of course. Even though I have been and remain a staunch critic of former President Joe Biden, if he had made any efforts like Trump’s, I would have been supportive and hopeful that the problems could be fixed.
But not the Left. Read this snarky drivel from a well-known leftist outlet that I won’t even bother naming [emphasis mine]:
Jeanine Pirro, the Fox News host-turned-U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, grew heated over her decision to prosecute a former Olympic canoeist for touching the president’s beloved Reflecting Pool last month.
No, you absolute moron, it’s the nation’s beloved Reflecting Pool, not Trump's. And the suspect isn't being charged for touching it — he was indicted for vandalizing it, as we will describe in a moment.
The writer went on to charge that the project was “a $14 million waste of time, increasing heat absorption and triggering the worst algae bloom in years.” Heat absorption? Come on, AWFL. Go to Amazon and buy a life.
Pirro has seen enough of this nonsense and is sick of people trying to downplay reports that the pool has been repeatedly and significantly damaged by deranged activists. At a Thursday press conference regarding the indictment of three-time U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, MD, on a felony destruction of property charge for allegedly ripping apart the newly installed blue sealant, Pirro pushed back on the media’s endless insistence that there’s no proof he did anything wrong.
Come sit on the grand jury if you have exculpatory evidence, Pirro dared the biased journo:
U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro: “The damage is over $1,000 [on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool].”

Jeanine Pirro: “With an expert. Come to the trial.”
Reporter: “Did he have any tools or was it just his bare hands?”
Jeanine Pirro: “Right now, we believe it's his bare hands, both hands.”
Reporter: “In your belief, was it probably damaged before?”
Jeanine Pirro: “Oh, he damaged it!”
Reporter: “Do you believe there had already been damaged before?”
Jeanine Pirro: “He damaged the pool!”
Reporter: “There are all these videos —”
Jeanine Pirro: “Well, good, I'm glad you got that evidence. Come on to the grand jury, you can testify. NEXT!”
The Reflecting Pool Vandalism Is More Than Just Odd Leftist Behavior VIP
Would the media try to tie Reflecting Pool vandalism to the events of January 6, 2021? Of course they would! But the two incidents don't actually have anything to do with each other, so Pirro wasn’t having it, as RedState’s Buzz Patterson noted.
Watch:
Jeanine Pirro just pummeled a reporter who asked about J6. (They just won’t let the riot go away. Yes, riot).

Pirro: “Already this is a PROBLEM... Are you REALLY talking about January 6th?”
REPORTER: “YES!”
PIRRO: “I'M NOT! Okay, who's next? NOT YOU!”
Savage!…
“Not you!” is right.
We’ve seen so many performative displays and assaults on basic logic by the Left and their accomplices in the media in the Trump era as they try to justify their increasingly socialist fantasies. The cheering of problems and vandalism at one of the nation’s most treasured monuments marks yet another low, along with their knee-jerk defense of anti-Trump vandals who stand accused of serious crimes.
Pirro wasn’t standing for their BS gaslighting, and nor should any American who believes in this country.
