A U.S. Navy ship being named after an anti-2ndamendment extremist.

WTF?

[VRWC For Truth]

Is it painted pink with a red hammer & sickle?

The LEFT .. has their way with naming ships after people that the RIGHT didn’t feel were actually qualified to be considered the name of a ship: The recent “Murtha” ship comes to mind.

Mabus sparked a similar controversy last year when he named ships after labor leader Caesar Chavez, who served in the Navy for two years during his late teens, and nearly-assassinated congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Supporters of Mabus’s naming practices have noted that, in the past, ships have been named after people like aviator Amelia Earhart and civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

And a push for USS Harvey Milk

Ping.

I thought the rule used to be that anyone after whom a Naval vessel was named had to be dead. When did Giffords pass away?

Absurd and insulting to the US Navy.
