Washington — The Senate Armed Services Committee approved an amendment to the annual military spending bill that would require the Defense Department to change the names of military bases and assets named for Confederate leaders.

A source familiar with the proceedings confirmed to CBS News that the GOP-led panel on Wednesday approved the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) offered by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts via voice vote. According to a summary of the NDAA released by the committee Thursday, the measure requires the Defense Department to rename posts and assets — streets, aircraft, ships, and other equipment — either named for Confederate officers or that honor the confederacy within three years.

Can’t Trump find a better party to belong to? These losers are barely better than the insane, communist RAT party they’re elected to protect us from.

The question here is, does the backstabbing GOP have enough votes to override a presidential veto, or will the President cave and sign this?

Trump is not a member of the GOP. He needed them to have a placeholder to become POTUS.

They NEVER were going to get on board.

Trump is staying the course.

Trump will not sign it. Kayleigh made it clear yesterday where he stands on this subject.

I want a new political party now.

The DNC is trying to destroy the US and the GOP is going along with it.

Veto it Mr. Trump. Costly and acquiescing to terrorist Antifa, BLM, and DNC.

Rest assured that all Democrats voted in favor of this and we need to hold them accountable.
