"My mother worked in the White House. Specifically the East Wing. My husband worked in the White House. Many of our friends worked in the White House," Wentworth, 60, began her update. "Both Republican and democratic administrations. They were public servants."
She then pointed out, "The East Wing has always been a symbol of decorum. Of civic belonging, cultural leadership and diplomacy—'the people's house.' It is the humanitarian side—White House tours, congressional picnics, state dinners… where John Travolta danced with Princess Diana!"
To conclude her post, Wentworth boldly declared, "The destruction of this protected historic landmark strips the government of its humanity and social conscience and seeks to erase all memory of tradition and empathy. Many Presidents, like Truman, have renovated the White House. But as my mother (who was the Social Secretary for Nancy Reagan) always told me 'there is a right way and a wrong way'!"

In the comments, many of Wentworth's followers supported her stance, with Law & Order Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay writing, "Elegantly said Ali and so heartbreaking."
Another Instagram user wrote, "There is indeed a right way in a wrong way and thank you for this post. It was a beautiful place and this is a glorious photo."
Someone else echoed, "What he did to the East Wing is the physical representation of what he's done to our democracy. Heartbreaking. 💔."
However, not everyone was on the same page. A different follower shared, "What a beautiful ballroom Trump will be building!!!! Love it!!!! Dems need to embrace the beauty♥️."
Another Instagram user commented, "Get with the program. This White House has been renovated so many times. Just because it's President Trump. Everybody has an issue with it."
Meanwhile, someone else wrote, "Oh Gawd-get over it. It's going to be more beautiful than ever."
