Schumer proposes naming Senate building after McCainWashington Times, Aug 25, 2018, Stephen Dinan
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Saturday he will push to rename one of the Senate’s office buildings after the late Sen. John McCain.
The building Mr. Schumer has in mind is the Russell Senate Office Building, named after Sen. Richard Russell Jr. Mr. Russell was a conservative Democrat from Georgia who was seen as an opponent of the civil rights movement, making his name on a Senate building controversial.
“Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him,†Mr. Schumer said on Twitter just after Mr. McCain’s office announced his death.
