EXCLUSIVE — Republican lawmakers are requesting Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser"immediately rename" Black Lives Matter Plaza in the nation's capital over groups in the left-wing movement boosting Hamas after the terror group murdered innocent Israelis.
BLM Plaza is a two-block pedestrian section near the White House that received its name after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. It features 35-foot-tall yellow letters spelling"Black Lives Matter," and construction costs were estimated at $7.8 million, the Washington Post reported. The Republicans slammed BLM Grassroots, which has 26 chapters and referred to the deadly Hamas attack in mid-October as a"desperate act of self-defense," as an entity that"threw its support behind these murderous attacks."
