House Republicans are proposing to rename the Kennedy Center’s Opera House after first lady Melania Trump.

On Tuesday, House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee approved an amendment in a 33-25 vote on an annual spending bill that would rename the opera house at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House."

Trump serves as the honorary chairman of the board of trustees at the Kennedy Center.

"This is an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts," said Rep. Michael Simpson-R-Id.

Fox News Digital has reached out to The Kennedy Center and the White House.

I have nothing against Melania but I would have liked it to be called the Mrs. Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee Opera House.

Amen!

Well if the RATs can rename Fort Bragg, hey, why not.

I don't think the GOP should adopt these Demoncrat tactics. I don't like changing the names of anything. I say this while I cross the Tappan Zee Bridge en route to Idlewild Airport.

I checked the Kennedy Center website. The only venue named after an individual is the Eisenhower Theatre. Eisenhower actually started the Kennedy Center, but the democrats named it after JFK.

It IS just for the ‘Opera House.’ They’re NOT renaming the entire Kennedy Center for her.

And as we’ve seen time and again, Melania is very educated, worldly, speaks many languages, has a heart the size of Texas, HATES Communism, LOVES children and actually CARES about them as humans and not props. Melania is gracious to a fault.

She can handle anything they throw at her. Unless, have you not noticed how the press is 100% IGNORING HER this time around? They’re not trashing her, but they’re not really ‘covering’ anything she does in the course of a day, either.

And I guarantee that is ALL BY DESIGN. The Enemy Media is a bunch of b@stards.

I HAVE noticed that she is not being covered very much at all.
Even less than Laura Bush had been covered.
I was not sure if maybe that’s how the First Lady had informed the president that she wants it, during this second term. I just didn’t know.

I knew she was given a ton of grief from the TDS/ P*ssyHatters last time, so I would understand if she wished to minimize her exposure to these dangerous idiots.

“...minimize her exposure to these dangerous idiots.”

Well, there’s THAT - which is important. Socialist Democrats really ARE getting nuttier by the day.

It’s probably some combination of both.

You're aware Melania doesn't live at the White House, are you not?

She comes to DC for special events, but she lives elsewhere. When she shows up, the media reports.

The worst you can say is the media doesn't go looking for her.

I think that, unlike Michelle and Jill, Melania is above caring about this silly stuff.

(Wasn’t there a story that Jill had some kind of fanfare for the First Lady written for her entrances?)

My only objection is because I idolized Eisenhower and hate to see his name taken off anything. But naming something after a live person allows that person to know that they’re respected and loved. That’s a good thing. Praise after they’re dead doesn’t do them much good. I want good people to know that they’re well thought of and know that they’ll be remembered and cherished.

Stupid move.

Especially with RFK, Jr. serving in the cabinet and his pivotal role in getting DJT elected.

I am aware. I guess whatever ‘art of the deal’ she made with President Trump is between them, and though I don’t blame her considering how she was vilified DAILY last time around, I do miss seeing her at least weekly.

It’s a media blackout. She seems to have become a non-person which is quite Communist, if you think about it. Soon they’ll start, ‘rubbing her out’ of any and all photos just like Stalin did.

Since Melania doesn't live in the White House and only visits to play dress-up, she is becoming a non-person by her own choice and doing.
