Dem lawmaker's staffer blasts border-themed Christmas decorations outside Eli Crane's office as 'insensitive, charged and insulting'



Jason Tufele Carl Johnson, a staffer for Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, shared photos of border-themed Christmas decorations outside of Rep. Eli Crane's (R-Ariz.) office, describing the display as "insulting" and "insensitive."

The photos show elf figurines atop something that resembles a brick wall. A door has a sign on it that says, "BORDER PATROL ELVES ONLY," while another door has a sign that reads, "HAVE DOCUMENTS READY."

"Normally Longworth 2nd floor Christmas decorations are a bipartisan and amiable contest. Rep. Eli Crane's office has the most insensitive, charged and insulting Christmas decor I've ever seen in my 5 years on Capitol Hill," Johnson tweeted when sharing the photos.

"Make that 8 years for me. I've never seen a GOP office on the 2nd floor do this," tweeted Andrew Heineman, a staffer for Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

"In addition to being stupid and in terrible taste, Eli Crane and his staff are showing impressive ignorance of the nativity story. They should read Chapter 2 of the Gospel of Matthew to remind themselves what Christmas is all about," Aaron Fritschner, a staffer for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), tweeted.

Democratic Rep. Grace Meng of New York also decried Crane's Christmas decorations.

"This is how Republicans choose to use their time and resources in the halls of Congress. This is disgusting and dehumanizing rhetoric, and as a fellow member of Congress, I can think of so many better uses of our time than hanging up crude signs," she tweeted.

"'Crude signs' = references to basic functions of our Border Patrol," Crane's communications director Zach Kahler fired back in response to Meng's criticism. He also included a clown emoji.

"Looks like your office takes the contest about as seriously as your party does the crisis at the border," Kahler wrote in response to Johnson when sharing a photo of the outside of Grijalva's office.

Liberals pounce on leaked audio of Melania Trump talking about children at the border and her Christmas decorations



Liberals and other critics of the president pounced on a leaked audio of first lady Melania Trump talking to her former friend about reaction to her Christmas decorations and controversy around children detained at the border.

In the audio, which aired on CNN Thursday, the first lady can be heard angrily criticizing the reaction to her Christmas decorations, and complaining that the media wasn't reporting on her efforts to help children detained at the border.

"They say I'm complicit. I'm the same like him. I support him. I don't say enough. I don't do enough," said the first lady on the recording.

"Where I am, I put, I'm working like a, my ass off at, Christmas stuff that you know, who gives a f*** about Christmas stuff and decoration? But I need to do it, right?" she continued.

"OK, and then I do it, and I say that I'm working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, 'oh what about the children that were separated.' Give me a f***ing break. Where were they saying anything when Obama did that?" she said.

The first lady went on to complain that she tried to reunite a child with their mother but that the media refused to cover the story.

"I was trying to get the kids reunited with the mom. I didn't have a chance. Needs to go through the process and through the law," she said.

"They would not do the story because, they are not, they would not do the story, because they are against us, because they are liberal media. Yeah, if I go to Fox, they will do the story. I don't want to go to Fox."

Liberals pounce

While the first lady was clearly upset at the reaction from her critics, some like Muslim commentator Dean Obeidallah misrepresented her comments into something more sinister.

"After listening to the #MelaniaTapes where she says about the children separated at border 'Give me a fu**ing break' it's clear that Melania's jacket she wore to visit the kids was a comment on how she viewed the children: 'I really don't care,'" said Obeidallah.

This tape of Melania Trump just aired on CNN tonight as she said "who gives a Fu** about Christmas Stuff" and about… https://t.co/0L1Zt34m5q

"OMG!!!!!! @CNN is airing the #MelaniaTapes and they are horrific. Melania says kids love being in cages," claimed LGBT activist Rob Gill.

"Oh. My. God," reacted actress Alyssa Milano.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) took the opportunity to demand that the president and the first lady stop "disrespecting" Christians.

The Twitter hashtag "Melania Tapes" was trending nationally as a result of all the reactions Thursday evening.
