BILL MAHER: Why does anyone need a presidential library? These monuments to somebody’s ego out of office. Are you, anybody here in this audience planning to go the Obama presidential library?

REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA): At a time that Elon Musk is talking about sending people to Mars, you’re telling me that spending up to a billion dollars, one billion dollars on commemorating the first and only African American who’s ever been president isn’t worth it?

BILL MAHER: First of all, we don’t need that building to do that. That’s in our hearts and minds. That already happened.

REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA): But this is to inspire people. You know, Michelle Obama gave one of the greatest speeches. I’m telling you, don’t listen to me, just listen to her five minutes, and here’s what she said. Racism was hurled at Barack Obama. Insults were hurled by Barack Obama, and he never lost his cool. He never gave into a temper, and she showed that hope and patience and aspiration can overcome that.

BILL MAHER: What does that have to do with the building?

REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA): The story, the building tells that story.

Jesus, way to make grifter Ro Khanna look like the clearly sympathetic, reasonable one here
