House Republicans looking to nix Washington’s Black Lives Matter Plaza

House Republicans are drawing up plans to scrub Black Lives Matter Plaza from the capital, The Post has learned.

The two-block woke eyesore, just steps from the White House, features the phrase Black Lives Matter in 35-foot-tall yellow block letters, written across the asphalt of two city blocks at the end of 16th Street NW.

A “DEFUND THE POLICE” message alongside the mural was added by activists and later removed during roadwork in August 2020.

“The House Oversight Committee and the Trump Administration are working on delivering a number of reforms to make our nation’s capital safe and end left-wing pet projects. This includes addressing partisan abuses by the District government such as Black Lives Matter Plaza,” says House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky).

Sounds good to me. America will never be united if one tribe’s lives matter and the other tribe’s lives don’t.

They need to authorize “Black Lives Matter Toilets” with turbo flushers.

Yes. But I’d rather they pass a bill ending USAID, education, and other far more important issues.

They need to leave it in place forever as a monument to Democrat support of Communism, including the Riots of 2020.

Don't revise history and bury their crimes.

Not a bad idea. Democrat monument to racism, violence, cop killing, fraud.
Erect new signage and spray paint to the existing BLM banners.

A few coats of would be money WELL spent. If necessary, I’m certain that more than enough funds could be raised from private donations.

6/05/2020: Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered "Black Lives Matter" painted on 16th Street near the White House. At a press conference she said, "There are people who are craving to be heard and to be seen, and to have their humanity recognized, and we had the opportunity to send that message loud and clear on a very important street in our city ... And it is that message, and that message is to the American people, that Black Lives Matter black humanity matters, and we as a city raise that up as part of our values as a city." The mayor said that the people who painted it were from the D.C. Public Works Department.

Just remove the BL and replace CK with LL. That will spell ALL LIVES MATTER.

I’d be happy to chip in even though I have no plans to ever visit. The principle alone would be well worth it.
