In a tweet posted at 14:39 UTC, Rep. Malliotakis stated, “After advocacy from our office and community, we are pleased the Army will keep the Harbor Defense Museum in Brooklyn open.”
Later that day at 15:44 UTC, she commented on developments regarding a bipartisan bill to establish a women’s museum. She wrote, “It’s disappointing that after our bipartisan bill to build a women’s museum garnered 230 sponsors & support from @POTUS, Democrats will now oppose it because an amendment passed to ensure only biological women will be exhibited in a women’s museum. Should NOT be controversial!”
