Children were told to 'build the wall' at White House Halloween party

Source: Yahoo News

WASHINGTON — A Halloween party on Oct. 25 at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building featured candy, paper airplanes and — concerning for some attendees — a station where children were encouraged to help “Build the Wall” with their own personalized bricks.

Photos of the children’s mural with the paper wall were provided to Yahoo News.

The party, which took place inside the office building used by White House staff, included the families of executive-branch employees and VIP guests inside and outside government. Even though many of the attendees were members of President Trump’s administration, not everyone thought the Halloween game was a treat. “Horrified. We were horrified,” said a person who was there and requested anonymity to avoid professional retaliation.

The Eisenhower Executive Office Building stands across from the White House and houses a large portion of the West Wing support staff and is home to the vice president’s ceremonial office. The “Build the Wall” mural was on the first floor, outside the speechwriter’s office and next to the office of digital strategy and featured red paper bricks, each bearing the name of a child.

don't be shocked or "horrified"
And do request anonymity to hide your cowardly self - what a POS you are. Taking you kid to something as racist as that pig pen and being horrified?

You must be dumber than goddam dirt!

It is things like this that informs me that we are dealing with evil. Any group that works to teach hate to children is fundamentally evil. Not just wrong. Evil.

"Sick" why not build a "yellow brick road" to your dreams.
At least you can read black ink on yellow background, than on red background

Did Melania dress up as Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS?

off my list of places to take my children on Halloween. Seeing the orange turd, and frozen faced Maleria would have been scary enough, without the other stuff.
