Renaming an airport that honors a right-winger

mercredi 2 octobre 2019 à 02:00

There is a proposal to rename the airport which is currently named after John Wayne.

I don't like honoring that right-winger at all, but Reagan's wrongs were far, far worse. He crushed unions, eviscerated antitrust law, cut taxes for the rich, made a deal with Iran to hold American hostages for longer in order to win election, later sold arms to Iran to ransom Americans hostages taken by terrorists in Lebanon, and funded other terrorists to attack Nicaragua. In detestation for him, I always call that airport by its former official name, "National Airport."
