HuffPost
The bill, which was introduced Friday, aims to have the Virginia airport be designated as the "Donald J. Trump International Airport."
Virginia Democrats have blasted a new piece of legislation introduced by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) to rename the Washington Dulles International Airport in honor of former President Donald Trump.
The bill, which was put forward Friday, aims to have the Virginia airport, located about 26 miles outside of Washington, D.C., be designated as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
“In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Reschenthaler said in a statement. “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.”
The legislation, which has now been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, is co-sponsored by GOP Reps. Michael Chuck Fleischmann (Tenn.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Troy Nehls (Texas), Andy Ogles (Tenn.), Barry Moore (Ala.), and Mike Waltz (Fla.).
The move has already drawn scrutiny from some of the state’s Democrats, including Rep. Gerry Connolly, who referenced the numerous criminal charges the former president is facing.
