These attempts to whitewash and hetero-wash American history are disgusting!
I went to the Senate Floor to bring up my resolution urging the Pentagon not to rename ships in the John Lewis class, named after American civil rights legends like the USNS Harvey Milk.
Republicans blocked it.

How many disapprove? 94%.
