House Republicans looking to nix Washington's Black Lives Matter Plaza

House Republicans are planning to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C., which features the phrase in large yellow letters. The effort is part of a broader aim to eliminate "left-wing pet projects," according to House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer.

President Trump prioritizes eliminating woke ideology from federal governance. The mural was created after George Floyd's death in May 2020 under Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Republicans have criticized the D.C. government's focus on symbolism while neglecting rising crime rates. Senator Tom Cotton remarked on the failures of D.C. leadership, highlighting concerns about the city’s future as a state.
