Trump: I'll veto defense bill to keep Confederate base names
Trump took to Twitter late Tuesday to threaten a veto of a $741 billion annual Pentagon authorization bill because it would require a host of military bases named after Confederate figures to be renamed within. I will Veto the Defense Authorization Bill if the Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren (of all people!) of Fort Bragg, Fort Robert E. Lee, and many other Military Bases from which we won Two World Wars, is in the Bill!" I dare President Trump to veto the bill over Confederate base naming. Instead of mandating the renaming of military bases, including Fort Bragg, we need a thoughtful and constructive process that includes the input of our military communities, said Tillis.
