Lynne Patton, Eric Trump‘s former party planner, debased herself at Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. She and her sunglasses are now continuing the “live-in” tour of the New York City Housing Projects.

She will be staying at the Queensbridge Housing Projects for a few days. According to the New York Daily News, which calls it a ‘live-in tour,’ she babbled on Facebook, “It is also the same community where the new Amazon headquarters was supposed to base. While my primary goal remains effectuating immediate on-site repairs & relaying failures to the monitor, I also plan to give the residents ‘A NATIONAL VOICE’ on what most of them deem to be a stolen opportunity with Amazon! Politics should NEVER play part in either fixing or securing jobs for #NYCHA!”

It doesn’t seem like they want her voice.

“Who the hell is Lynne Patton? Anything from Trump I don’t trust. I don’t think she wants to help,” said Carline Campbell, a 20-year resident of the Patterson Houses in the Bronx, where Patton was expected to stay first, according to the New York Daily News.

Earlier this month, Lynne Patton, who works at HUD even though she has no experience in public housing just like Ben Carson, announced that she will live in four different public housing properties for one week each as a guest of four families, the New York Daily News reported.

Last week, Patton went viral for being a national embarrassment as she stood behind Republican Rep. Mark Meadows who defended Donald Trump‘s racism. Meadows ranted,“Lynne Patton says she would not work for a man who is racist… She disagrees with you. She says as a daughter of a man born in Birmingham, Alabama, that there is no way that she would work for an individual who was a racist.” Meadows, who somehow believes Patton represents all African Americans, asked, “How do you reconcile the two of those?”

As Patton silently stood behind Meadows, willingly debasing herself even more than she already has being part of the Trump administration, Cohen said, “Ask Ms. Patton how many Black people are executives at the Trump Organization? The answer is zero.”

Watch below:

HUD employees were reportedly confused by Patton’s appearance. The Washington Post reports, “Lynne Patton’s appearance during the hearing confused HUD employees, who were expecting her to show up to work Wednesday.”
