Reps Gallgo and Cardenas, both dems, no surprise, two more race baiters with the CRY RACISM! malware embedded in their small minds.

A pair of Democratic lawmakers are petitioning the Obama administration to block GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump from showcasing his name on the businessman's new hotel in Washington, D.C.
In a letter to the Department of Interior and General Services Administration (GSA), Reps. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.) requested that Trump be prevented from having his name "prominently displayed" on the newly refurbished Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, blocks from the White House.
"Trump's recent and repeated remarks disparaging women, Mexican-Americans, and other Latinos are hateful, divisive and completely inaccurate," the pair wrote to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and recently confirmed GSA Administrator Denise Turner Roth in a letter dated Aug. 13.

"We understand that the Department of Interior rightly prohibits the display of racist or insensitive emblems on lands it controls. In accordance with this policy and in keeping with the Department's recent efforts to bar the Washington Redskins' logo on public lands, we urge you to use all available authorities under current law to prevent the Trump name from being prominently displayed at the new hotel," they wrote.
A spokesperson for the Interior referred inquiries to GSA, which is leasing the property to Trump. A spokesperson for the GSA said the agency was in the process of responding to the lawmakers and did not provide further details. A Trump spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
It is not the first time the Trump hotel, slated to open in 2016, has drawn scrutiny for its signage. Last month, some raised objections to a sign outside the building resembling the candidate's campaign logo with "Coming 2016" over the word "Trump."
The real estate tycoon's D.C. hotel was also thrown into the news when celebrity chef José Andrés announced last month he would back out of a Spanish restaurant project in the hotel, over Trump's controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants, prompting Trump to retaliate with a $10 million lawsuit for damages.
The lawmakers' letter was first reported by the Phoenix Business Journal.

HA! It must be driving the rats absolutely nuts to see that sign everyday.
But Democrat candidates can have their names on books, movies and television programs designed to boost their election chances.
By the way, Trump will fight this in court and as a result get millions of dollars in additional free publicity.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some GOPe join them. I would bet on Trump winning that battle.
They want to stop a business man from putting his own name on a business?
Do these people in D.C. have anything to do? Why are we paying these politicians?
This is outrageous!
Trump needs to double the sign’s size in response. Add a YUUUGE American flag to really piss them off.
Those tolerant Dims are at it, again. Trying to re-write the narrative of Free Speech.
It’s always race/victimhood....never a debate about the actual issue.
When did John Semmons go to work for the Hill?
This will fail.
Gallego and Cardenas are total racist.
call it the Sharpton Arms or the Raytheon Martin Hoouse, or the Mike Brown Gentle Giant Abatoire?
Screw the ‘rats!
Knowing Trump’s legal staff is one of the best, I am sure that the name of the hotel is in the lease and can not be dictated by the GSA, (government).
He should replace it with one twice as big.
I suppose if Barron Hilton wanted to run for President he would have to cover all the signage at his families hotels.
Nonsense! And they have the nerve to call Trump unserious.
It is not just that the TRUMP building is coming. So is TRUMP the man
Cue

The Batman Theme song
Trump purchase a large blimp and install all the cool computerized light displays on it. Circle the D.C. restricted air space every night.
Yes, but not only twice as big, but also add a 2nd line that reads: Illegals Get Out !
He needs...NEEDS to start the lawsuits fast and furious and destroy every Democrat saying anything like this.
TDS strikes two more victims, LMAO.
Trump is not only living rent free in the heads of ‘RATS like Gallego and Cárdenas, he’s phoning room service every 15 minutes for fresh towels and more ice!!
God, I love it so. :)
