Republicans cling to traitorous Confederate names
In 2021, Congress mandated that the Department of Defense remove any Confederate names from all of its bases and other properties. The Pentagon was happy to comply. It was indeed incongruous to have the names of American traitors on some of our most important military bases. But really, even a dining hall named after a Confederate “hero” was an insult to those who died to preserve our union.
A majority of Republicans voted for the renaming at the time, but that hasn’t stopped today’s Freedom Caucus-ruled House from attempting to turn back the clock. Like their hero Donald Trump, they just can’t quit American traitors.
