Ernst: Renaming Confederate bases is the 'right thing to do' despite 'heck' from GOP
Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst (R) acknowledged on Friday that she has received pushback from members of her own party for supporting a provision in a defense bill that would change the names of military bases named after Confederate figures.
“I’ve been getting heck from my own party. I’m willing to take that from my own party because it’s the right thing to do,” Ernst told Black community leaders in Des Moines.
Ernst, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, supports an amendment in the annual defense spending bill that would require the names to change within a certain amount of allotted time.
The bill denotes the annual budget and expenditures for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Her stance is at direct odds with President Trump who has said that he won't change the names of the bases, claiming that he wants to preserve history, and he has signaled that he might veto the bill because of the measure.

Such a brave soul!
On second thought, go fuck yourself for belonging to a party that is giving you fucking "heck" for wanting to take traitors and racsist names of our military bases.
No really, climb down off your cross and fuck yourself.
