The Hill reports:
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) on Tuesday criticized a recently-introduced GOP bill that would rename Washington Dulles International Airport after former President Trump.
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes a portion of Dulles, said in a statement. “If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.”
Dulles — named for former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles — is located in Virginia, more than 25 miles west of central Washington, D.C. It is one of three major airports in the D.C. area, alongside Reagan Washington National Airport.
From sponsoring Rep. Guy Reschenthaler:
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.

This is just another in a long list of instances where extreme House Republicans have shown how unserious & delusional they are.
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. https://t.co/47fnIOyceu

Freedom. Prosperity. Strength.
That’s what America stood for under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump — the best president of my lifetime.
And that’s why I’m introducing legislation to rename Dulles as the Donald J. Trump International Airport.https://t.co/h7dMVaERbQ
