Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts proposed requiring the bases be renamed as a part of the annual defense authorization bill. The legislation funds the Pentagon and is often one of the few pieces of legislation that Congress can be counted on to pass each year in order to fund the country's military operations.
Warren's amendment to the legislation calls for removing the names of Confederate leaders from all military assets -- base, installation, facility, aircraft, ship, plane or other type of equipment -- within three years. The amendment was added to the bill in a closed-door Senate Armed Services Committee vote, which is controlled by Republicans. Some GOP lawmakers supported the measure.
Another action to solidify his racism.
Sick cruel man..never ever do I want to hear how loves 'his' military..this is not love..
Of course he did, what more important, taking care of the nations defense or pandering to his racist Instincts? Past performance (racist tendencies) is a predictor of future behavior.
Humour him. Get the money. Rename after November.
WHITE POWER. THAT IS TRUMP!
maybe it was a dark script that came from a domestic terrorist who used MK ultra by initials to mind channel the “actors” , into a psycops “event”. so leave it in the laws hands. I never heard case closed coming from the FBI etc..stupid politicians blocking the “root” cause imo
Awesome Veto veto . The military needs to be defunded . LoL

It’s a ridiculous waste of time and money! They weren’t offended when Osama was in office
He's full of 💩.
Seems right on par for him to screw over the troops from the wallet to the battlefield.
Remove it from the bill. Stop the cancel culture
A great opportunity for all republicans to step up and do what’s right for the country . Override trump’s veto.
A 'Must pass' !!! Who da fck says so ?! CNN is supposed to be a news media , NOT A POLITICAL GROUP !!! 🖕😀🖕
Racist fool.
Trump in a late Tuesday night tweet issued his strongest veto threat yet on a must-pass defense spending bill should lawmakers not strip language requiring bases named after Confederate leaders be changed. If you don't believe Trump's a racist, ask his friends or just call him.
And still no statement condemning Russia or Putin for targeting US soldiers nor any statement of sympathy for the victims of the coronavirus or an order mandating masks. Trump cares more about saving statues of racists than saving the lives of our troops and American citizens.
BunkerBoyTrump loves to support these racist people from the past.
You’re not going to change history by erasing it.
Because he supports the troops.. The Confederacy troops
Thought the US was the greatest democracy in the world? How did it become a dictatorship?
It would be disrespectful to change the names of those places. Everybody in favor of it is just ignorant.
Hello Democrats party media 😄
Trump wants to honor traitors to our country at the same time he denies Russia is making bounty payments on our US soldiers. This is donald j trump. AMERICA, WE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER. This November DUMP TRUMP
Good on him. Why try to sneak wokness into a must-pass Bill.
When this is Over ... Trump's name should be stricken from the records as being one of our President's. He's a failure as a Human being as well as a so called President. He's never served our countries best interest he's only served his own agenda's.
Does he know statues can’t vote?
realDonaldTrump won't protect Americans at home or abroad, but he'll protect dead traitors. Good one. TraitorTrump Impeach45Again
I hope the Dems don’t cave on this. It’s ridiculous to have bases named after our enemies. We don’t have a Hitler or Hussein base why have Bragg?
rootoutracism renamebases VoteTrumpOut2020 VoteGOPOut
Can someone at CNN please GoThere and look into this?
Pay no attention. He has gas that periodically comes out of his mouth with vile statements. He won’t tough the war budget.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT---STAY STRONG FOR AMERICA
Trumps just upset because he knows that if anything is named after him, it doesn't have chance in .... of remaining after he is evicted in January 2021. 🤞🙄🤞
Force realDonaldTrump to veto it. Do not be intimidated by his threats. If he does, it will only whine more light on the racist he is.
As the coronavirus becomes an endemic in the US
Trump! The Civil War is over and the Confederacy lost! Sign the bill and move on. Stop supporting TRAITORS!
He only is doing this because he wants their vote He could care less
Interesting
Sadly, on a personal level, he couldn't care less whether those bases are renamed. He's just playing to his BaseInstincts.
FortVindman RT and RenameTheForts
There was no leadership among the Confederacy, or they would have stood up for the rights of their fellow man.
Fake News does not pay!!!
TrumpGenocide HuffPost cnnbrk reuters maddow “Deflect all the blame, steal all the credit!” Someone explain 2 realDonaldTrump that no one is suggesting 2 tear down any military bases or otherwise deny the accomplishment of soldiers stationed there! Name change only!
That's why We hired him.
Understand him: a son of a KKK boss can’t renounce family heirloom
President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS! Vote Trump in November, 2020! President Trump is a 'VERY 'PRO-AMERICAN' Leader'. President Trump is a 'VERY 'PRO-AMERICAN' Leader'. President Trump is a 'VERY 'PRO-AMERICAN' Leader'. President Trump is a 'VERY 'PRO-AMERICAN' Leader'.
too bad we couldnt have vetoed you!
A true APE that is still allowed safe-haven in WH ... What else is there?
If you believe what what you read on cnn watch this video because this is what you are.
All through that endless night at Ft McHenry as the British shells rained down, the shit-splattered Bannon kept raving. Then, some time before dawn, the small shit-splattered Bannon was replaced by a far larger one, to indicate a US victory. And the rest is History. Cc Trump
But she isn’t properly wearing a mask herself in multiple pictures featured on her House website and social media.
Как смело так...ух...рассисткие лидеры...круто...а ничего , что так было во всем мире ..идиоты...черные как были самыми тупыми на земле...так и остались...учи или нет...
I don't think you ever even studied history and know the difference between the Confederacy and the Union. You probably aren't even from this country and didn't go to school here. Maybe you should go back to where you came from.
Great President ❤️ MAGA2020 ❤️
CNN, stop being bottom-feeding, race-baiters. You should be ashamed of yourselves. StopLeftistTerrorism
Good.
Filth.
Is there ever any good news when it comes to this guy?
