Senate panel votes to require Pentagon to rename bases named after Confederates
By Rebecca Kheel - 06/11/20 09:06 AM EDT

The Republican-led Senate Armed Services Committee has approved an amendment to the annual defense policy bill that would require the Pentagon to rename bases and other assets that are named after Confederate military leaders, a source confirmed to The Hill.

The amendment, offered by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), was approved by voice vote Wednesday during the committee’s closed-door markup of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the source familiar with the situation said. The amendment would give the Pentagon three years to remove the Confederate names.

The news, which was first reported by Roll Call, comes after President Trump said he would “not even consider” renaming Army bases that are named after Confederate officers.

Our problem as Americans is our politics. We have one party that is bat shit crazy and the other too afraid to stand up and do anything about it. My suggestion for republicans is tell the truth.

Senate panel votes to require Pentagon to rename bases named after Confederates

Yet their oldest Senate Office Building is still named after the Democrat Senator who led the filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

You know, this new wokeness is gonna play havoc with navigation and GPS when they start tearing down all the street signs in West Virginia named after Robert Byrd.

@Hoodat

That would be Richard Russell Jr. 
Russell Senate Office Building:  "The Russell Senate Office Building, oldest of the three U.S. Senate office buildings. In 2018, Senate minority leader Charles Schumer called for the renaming of the building with the name of recently deceased Senator John McCain."

There is also "The Richard B. Russell Federal Building in Atlanta."
His life is interesting:

Schumer tweeted it.  He just didn't act on it.

The renaming of the building is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for the Republicans.  They should introduce a bill today to name it after Leonidas C. Dyer, R-Mo.

It's hard to imagine Blackburn is cool with it.

Voice vote with no reporters in the room to report who voted for it,and who voted against it,huh?

Good to see our Senators have the courage of their convictions,isn't it?

You watch and wait until they rename "Fort Brag" to "Fort Martin Luther King",and see what happens.

Sadly,that is what they do best.

And some people STILL wonder how a political outsider who had never even ran for public office before became the President.

If Trump were to cave on 90 percent of the public stands he takes,he would still be 100 times better than ANY RINO anyone can name.

I think that list is Fake news.

Sources: Hawley was lone Senator to vote no on renaming bases that honor Confederate generals
"I just don't think that Congress mandating that these be renamed and attempting to erase that part of our history is a way that you deal with that history"

Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned about this type incident.  The Deep State is trying to destroy history just like the Soviets did.  Tearing down statues is part of it.  Equivalent to book burning.
