Democrats are reacting furiously to a new GOP proposal to rename Washington, D.C.’s main international airport after former President Donald Trump. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., unveiled a bill backed by six of his fellow House Republicans to change the name of Washington Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. While the bill likely has little chance of being passed in the current Congress, it did succeed in triggering the ex-president’s critics when the legislative text was unveiled on Tuesday.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., expressed his disapproval by stating, 'Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.' Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Va., criticized the proposal, emphasizing the need to focus on important issues rather than renaming an airport after someone who sought to undermine democracy.
