The Trump administration has unequivocally rejected a Washington committee’s series of recommendations regarding how to “rename, remove, or contextualize” dozens of monuments, schools, parks, and buildings in the area, among which are the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement late Sept. 1 that as long as President Donald Trump is in the White House, the recommendations from Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office “will go absolutely nowhere.”
