The demolition of the East Wing has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many people directly attacking ACECO for being involved in the project. Yelp.com — a site which rates businesses — temporarily "This business recently received increased public attention in the news, which often means people come to this page to post their views on the news rather than a first-hand consumer experience," the notification said.However, a few people were able to directly express their furor in Yelp reviews. "Traitors to the United States," Marianne R from Portland, Oregon wrote. "They should be ashamed for their destruction of the east wing of the White House. May karma prevail." "They jumped at the chance to demolish the White House, which belongs to all Americans," Alexandra B from Oakland California wrote. "Not to mention, asbestos and lead flying everywhere. They will forever carry the shame of destroying our history." Meanwhile, Clark Construction, which will be building the new ballroom, still has its website and social media pages in operation.
