Attorney General Todd Blanche scolded Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for his comments on Tuesday, saying the White House ballroom ordered to be constructed by President Donald Trump will be “blown up” in an “official ceremony” in the future. Krasner said he would keep some of the debris from the hypothetical explosion as a paperweight on his desk. During an appearance on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom, Blanche called Krasner’s remarks “disgusting” and suggested he worry about his city’s problems rather than the White House ballroom.
“It’s disgusting that a district attorney in Philadelphia, who, by the way … has its own problems, is so focused on what the president is doing in the White House,” Blanche said.
