"Key, whose family owned people and who owned enslaved people himself, supported the idea of sending free Black people to Africa but opposed the abolition of slavery in the U.S., according to the National Park Service's Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.

Some idiots in San Francisco tore down his statue in 2020, so he's obviously a controversial figure!"

Rep. Mike Collins:

“Baltimore obviously won’t rename the new bridge after Francis Scott Key again.

So, any guesses on the new bridge name?”

I’ll posit a guess here:

The Freddy Grey Martyr Bridge

I mentioned this yesterday in another post. Wait until they rebuild, I can almost promise Maryland will not name it the Key bridge.

I can see the azho in the White Hut naming the replacement bridge after the clown that wrote the “Black” National Anthem and making the bridge a “sacred” National Park for the Indians. The Black Looters Movement has the white National Anthem on the way out anyway. The Ass Press will be going all out pimpin’ this stuff.

I stated yesterday that when rebuilt, they will rename it something else.

They can name bridges whatever the hell they want, I will always make reference to the original names as long as I'm alive.

For example, I still use "Tappan Zee" for the bridge crossing the Hudson at Tarrytown and "Triboro Bridge" for the one that goes over the East River at Astoria Park (Queens).

If they are smart, they won’t waste the money rebuilding the ship target.

They could have the ship channel cleared in a couple of months, tops and the harbor will be back in operation.

Wonder if he bought his slaves from Kommiela Harris’ grandfather?

“... supported the idea of sending free Black people to Africa ...”

In some cases, that is the best solution. I’m looking at you Leticia James.

Perfect for the democrats. Now comes the erasure of the national anthem. They hate it. Soon to be a DEI version of the phony “black national anthem” to include perverts, homos, trannies, and illegals.

As I posted yesterday, the new bridge will be named after George Floyd, or some other worthless miscreant..................

AP is making sure you know Key was an evil slave owner.

Big deal many blacks were slave owners also some owned record numbers of them aka even.

Not many races in the world that didn’t own people if any.

Funny you should post this article. I was on patriots.win yesterday, and the subject of Baltimore RAT politicians renaming the bridge came up. I commented: “They’ll never honor the likes of Francis Scott Key again. If I didn’t know better, I’d say they deliberately knocked it down just so they could re-name it after a RAT or tranny. Others said: Fentanyl Floyd Bridge, George Kirby Bridge; Freddie Gray Memorial Bridge; Gay Pedo Climate Bridge; Gay Pride Bridge. They’ll definitely be changing the name.

Conspiracy theorists have been hard at work saying it was done on purpose. they hate it when I point to bridge collapses in the past.

Tacoma Narrows bridge (Galloping Gertie)1940
Silver King Bridge over 50 years ago
I-40 bridge in Oklahoma 2002
Now this one.

Surprised Baltimore let the Key name slip by them before the accident.

The bridge is white. Coincidence? I think not

I posted much the same thing yesterday. No big surprise here.

They may as well just go there and call it the Pedo Faggot Child Sniffing Bridge.
