Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) is suggesting that his Republican colleagues find a federal prison to name after Donald Trump after a group of sycophantic MAGA lawmakers introduced a bill to rename a major airport after the disgraced ex-president.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) introduced the bill renaming the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport”.
The bill has six co-sponsors: Reps. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Barry Moore (R-AL), Troy Nehls (R-TX), Andy Ogles (R-TN) and Michael Waltz (R-FL).
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes Dulles, said in a statement. “If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”
Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D), whose district also partially includes Dulles, slammed the bill in a post on X/Twitter, saying it shows that Republicans are not serious about governing.
“This is just another in a long list of instances where extreme House Republicans have shown how unserious & delusional they are,” Wexton said. “Let’s get to work on the real issues the American people sent us here for—not renaming an airport after someone who sought to undermine our democracy.”
Reschenthaler defended his decision to introduce the bill, telling Fox News Digital: “In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.”
“As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil,” he said.
