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.

Well if the RATs can rename Fort Bragg, hey, why not.
I bet the suicide hotline is going nuts ever since last November. I’m guessing sales of Prozac have skyrocketed.
*PING*
You are f****** stupid
Get to work on something important and relevant
Good idea. The name of the Kennedy Center remains only the opera house name changes. The Kennedy center contains multiple facilities. The theatre is the Eisenhower Theatre.
I assure you, it will be.
agree
nothing against Melania
but i do not believe in naming stuff after people alive
it should only be in memoriam
so that they are remembered
At least name something after her that she supports. I doubt she’s even been to an opera performance. Name a wing in a hospital where she’s actually visited sick kids.
There’s no good reason for this.
Not a good idea
This is true. Look at how the Rats of Detroit removed Dr. Ben Carson’s name from a local high school. Those who’ve passed on can no longer feel the churlishness of mortal politics.
I have nothing against Melania but I would have liked it to be called the Mrs. Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee Opera House.
Not necessary...
Just means that when the communists return to the WH, it will be renamed for Jasmine Crockett or Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib or Debbie Wasserman Schultz or Moochelle Obama...
Personally I think naming things after any politician (or wife) should end. Name things after fallen soldiers, police, fire.
Awesome!
This is on the same order as ‘Gulf of America’, vs Gulf of Mexico. Gratuitous trolling, just to observe the reactions.
Picking a fight that need not be picked.
I’m surprised the First Lady is allowing it, knowing the grumbling it will cause.
If this is only for the Opera House only, then maybe it won’t matter too much, but Melania should have a response ready when the reporters begin asking her “Mrs. Trump, what is your favorite opera? or “Who’s your favorite opera composer?”
She WILL be getting that question.
I think that she's cool with it. The mainstream media praised Michelle and Jill. Ignored (or trashed) Melania the whole time. I'm sure she did not appreciate that.
The Democrats renamed McCarran Field, the Las Vegas airport named for the American patriot and statesman Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) for Nevada’s leftist and thoroughly corrupt solon Harry Reid. They removed the names of the great patriots Charles Lindbergh and Bob Hope from the airports at San Diego and Burbank, Calif., respectively. They renamed Rodeo Road in Los Angeles for Barack Obama and renamed C Street in San Pedro, Calif. for Comrade Harry Bridges, the Stalinist union boss. So it’s about time we start playing their game.
