MSNBC host calls for FBI headquarters to scrub J Edgar Hoover's name and replace it to honor 'political warrior' Stacey Abrams

preview

Closen MSNBC host said the FBI headquarters should scrub its name honoring a "racist tyrant" and instead call it the "Stacey Abrams Building."“Changing the name of our premier law enforcement agency so that it doesn't honor a racist tyrant who trampled civil liberties, I don't know, seems like a pretty logical step to me,” Tiffany Cross said on The Cross Connection Saturday, speaking of the nation's first FBI director, J.

He was a misogynist," he added. "He was somebody who even denied the existence of the mafia for decades, allowing organized crime to get a toehold here in the United States. It's time we renamed that building after somebody who deserves it.”The bill would establish a and provide recommendations based on “racial, ethnic, and gender diversity,” “honoring living persons when appropriate.”
