Virginia Democrat slams proposal to name airport after Trump: ‘I’d suggest they find a federal prison’ - eviltoast

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) on Tuesday criticized a recently-introduced GOP bill that would rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Trump.

Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes a portion of Dulles, said in a statement. “If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) introduced the bill Friday proposing to change the name of Dulles to “Donald J. Trump International Airport.” In a news release on the bill, he said the U.S. “has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.”

    If you look up what the Dulles brothers actually did, you’d know that naming it after a comparatively petty criminal like Trump would actually be an upgrade.

      Behind the Bastards has a couple episodes about them, particularly John. Real piece of shit. From helping US companies take control of foreign countries for profit, to cheating on his wife proliferously, to being a huge Nazi sympathizer…he was a bastard.
