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.”

    To be fair, even the most progressive state like California (and I imagine most other states) is exactly the same. You don’t have to drive far outside of Los Angeles to start seeing Trump signs.

      They’re pretty few and far between in the Northeast. Not to say they don’t exist, but they’re far from common.
