Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert wants to build a new ballroom at the White House to help keep the president safe.Tuesday, Representative Boebert introduced the "Trump Ballroom Act." It would congressionally authorize Presi dent Trump to design and construct his long-desired ballroom facility on the grounds of the White House.This comes after the apparent assassination attempt on the president over the weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.The president and Rep. Boebert say the incident could not have taken place in the new ballroom because it would be more secure.Rep. Boebert released the following statement regarding the act: The attempted assassination of President Trump this past weekend has highlighted the need for a space adjacent to White House that the President can host large events without exposing himself to another would-be assassin. While I dont see any reason Congressional approval for this ballroom should be required, activist judges and leftist dogwalkers have inserted themselves into this renovation at the White House. As a result, Im proud to introduce the TRUMP Ballroom Act so that we can get this project over the finish line.However, Colorado Congressman, Jason Crow, a Democrat, pushes back on the argument that this attempted shooting shows such a need."The lesson learned from this cannot be, we have to stop being accessible, we have to stop going out in public, we have to stop being available to the American people that we represent, that we have to put ourselves behind higher fences and behind ballrooms," said Rep. Crow.Work on the ballroom, which could cost taxpayers $400 million if congress pushes it through, has been stalled because of legal challenges, which Rep. Boebert says were allowed by a "liberal activist judge."But, Boebert says this bill aims to cut through legal roadblocks so construction can move forward._______Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
