On Sunday, Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly defended his proposal saying he thinks it\u2019s \u201conly fitting\u201d to name a federal prison after former President Trump<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, there\u2019s a nice federal penitentiary right near Mar-a-Lago. And I just thought for a guy who\u2019s now got 88 criminal indictments pending, criminal \u2014 plus two major civil penalty trials that have already been resolved, costing him about a half a billion dollars,\u201d Connolly told <\/a>MSNBC\u2019s Jonathan Capehart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s only fitting that if Republicans really want to honor\u00a0Donald Trump,\u00a0the most appropriate way to do that is to name a federal prison he might be visiting soon, after Donald J. Trump,\u201d Connolly added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Connolly was one\u00a0of three Democrats\u00a0to introduce a bill<\/a>\u00a0Friday to change the name of the Miami Federal Correctional Institution in Florida to \u201cDonald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connolly was joined by Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and John Garamendi (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal came in response to a Republican\u00a0push to\u00a0rename\u00a0Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
