Pelosi Makes ‘White Supremacist’ Allegation About Military Bases
Writtwn By Natalia Kay – June 12, 2020
Should names on military bases be removed?
“The American people know these names have to go. These names are white supremacists that said terrible things about our country,” the California Democrat said.
“Some of these names were given to these bases. You listen to who they are and what they said and then you have the president make a case as to why a base should be named for them. He seems to be the only person left who doesn’t get it.”
“They committed treason against the United States,” Pelosi said of the president and vice president of the Confederate states, Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens.
“[T]he halls of Congress are the very heart of our democracy. The statues in the Capitol should embody our highest ideals as Americans, expressing who we are and who we aspire to be as a nation,” the letter read.
“Monuments to men who advocated cruelty and barbarism to achieve such a plainly racist end are a grotesque affront to these ideals. Their statues pay homage to hate, not heritage. They must be removed.”
“These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom,” he tweeted.— Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump ·
It has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of our Legendary Military Bases, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Benning in Georgia, etc. These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a…Donald J.

…history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom. The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations

Seriously failed presidential candidate, Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, just introduced an Amendment on the renaming of many of our legendary Military Bases from which we trained to WIN two World Wars. Hopefully our great Republican Senators won’t fall for this!
Commentary and Opinion from The Western Journal:
The 10 military bases named after Confederate leaders include Fort Lee, Fort Hood, Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Fort Bragg, Fort Polk, Fort Pickett, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Rucker and Camp Beauregard.
The Republican-led Senate Armed Service Committee approved the amendment on Thursday in a voice vote, The Hill reported.
Only Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri voted against the measure.
