Naming things after a slave owner?
I think the trend is against them, but ... Democrats have always been supporters of slavery, so we’ll see if they succeed.
The left would love to name the airport after their hero Che, or maybe Stalin
Harvey Milk? Bradley Manning? Alger Hiss? Che?
I hear McKinley just became available.
Tried to tell folks they were opening Pandora’s Box.
Enjoy...
Barry Sotero International Airport #1. The rest can be renamed later #2, #3, etc.
why don’t we just churn out anotehr exec order?
This is so silly. It’s just an airport. The CITY itself is still named after Washington. LOL
Mckinley was called Denali from before I can remember by Alaskans.. still do..
Way; Before Zero became Marxist in Chief..
Zero didn’t rename anything..
I hope they don’t notice that a highway near the airport is named for Jefferson Davis.
Of course, the left already worship Obama, they already have elementary schools named after him, they can create an airport and have it be a shrine to their dear leader
Naming the Washington airport after Reagan was never likely to last long. It should be named after someone the people of DC revere and admire - Malcolm X International Airport.
If they start renaming airports (a few years ago, they wanted to rename O’Hare from being named after a WW2 ace to Harold Washington Airport, they compromised and accepted the international terminal being named after the late Mayor of Chicago. I would suggest that JFK return to its original name, Idlewild; there are a myriad of roads and other public items named after the Kennedys in the weeks after their assassinations, I don’t know of any named after Idlewild.
Unfortunately that did not succeed and it ended up getting named Burbank Bob Hope Airport instead.
Kind of a bummer. Should have been Eddie Van Halen Airport.
It was never called that. This is an error or oversight in editing and proofreading. This is an all too common problem nowadays.
I have no problem with this as long as part of the same legislation they also re-name New York’s big airport back to Idlewild.
(and in my salad days, we always called it “DC National,” not INternational.)
If the mountain won't come to Obama...
