Democrats panned the bill as “ridiculous” and an attempt by Republicans to “suck up” to Trump.
A group of House Republicans has introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after former President Donald Trump.
The bill, filed Friday, is sponsored by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the chief deputy majority whip, and is co-sponsored by six other Republicans: Reps. Michael Waltz, of Florida; Andrew Ogles, of Tennessee; Chuck Fleischmann, of Tennessee; Paul Gosar, of Arizona; Barry Moore, of Alabama; and Troy Nehls, of Texas.
The measure says it would “designate the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the ‘Donald J. Trump International Airport.’”
…
“This idea is ridiculous, but sadly real,” Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who’s running for governor of Virginia, wrote Tuesday in a post on X, adding that Congress instead should focus on reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration and passing foreign aid. “Yet this is what a Member of House Republican leadership focuses on — renaming Virginia’s Dulles airport after Trump.”
Of course Republicans would have a worse name for the airport which is an astronomically low bar lmao. The Dulles brothers (whichever one the airport is named after) should not have an airport in their name because they were monsters that helped establish the CIA as a piece of shit organization.
Name is after some local wildlife or something.
