WASHINGTON — Three Democratic congressmen unveiled legislation Friday to rename a federal prison in Miami after former President Donald Trump.

The bill — offered by Reps. Gerry Connolly, of Virginia; Jared Moskowitz, of Florida; and John Garamendi, of California — comes in response to a measure introduced by a group of House Republicans to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.

The Democrats' bill would rename the Miami Federal Correctional Institution in Florida the "Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution."

“When our Republican colleagues introduced their bill to rename Dulles after Donald Trump, I said the more fitting option would be to rename a federal prison,” Connolly said in a statement. “I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves.”

The bill to rename Dulles after Trump was filed last Friday. It was sponsored by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the chief deputy majority whip, and 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.

Good.

Now some Republicans should submit a bill renaming Fort Knox after President Trump.

Is this all these elected fools have to do is spend time on brain dead issues?

It is infuriating and sad how many people truly believe that Trump is a criminal and a sex offender. I believe that is a major goal of all of this lawfare, to make people associate Trump with criminality. He has to be the most honest person who has ever been president since the left has not found one single thing he has done actually illegal. Especially financially, despite all the businesses that he has run

People who consume only the propaganda media have no idea that Trump has never been found guilty of any of the accusations against him. They do not even know that the entire Russia collusion accusation was a false conspiracy by the deep state

And then we can send Obeyme, Xiden, the Clinton crime cartel, Gyorgy Schwartz and Nazi Piglosi there as well.

In decades of observation Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia is the slimiest politician I have ever noted. Repeat, ever.

Good thing the country isnt having any real problems. Honestly, the Repukes should attach this to the bill to rename the airport and vote in favor.

Good, then Trump can send all the dems that have committed treason, and other crimes against the USA to his prison. I think it’s hilarious.

That’s a great idea actually President Trump stands for law and order and many Democrats will likely be going to prison after he is reelected.

Good, he’s a law & order guy. Bet he’d love to have a prison named after him.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how they think this is a win.
