Blackwash.
Remove the name Robert Byrd from any public place first.
Trump will not sign it. Kayleigh made it clear yesterday where he stands on this subject.

If they renamed one of them Liawatha and another on Hellary, I _might_ go along with it... :-)
Rest assured that all Democrats voted in favor of this and we need to hold them accountable.
