A group of more than two dozen Republican lawmakers urged the mayor of Washington, D.C., to rename “Black Lives Matter Plaza,” claiming that the group for which the plaza is named has voiced support for Hamas following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. The lawmakers, including Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Florida’s Marco Rubio, also argued that the street painting reading “Black Lives Matter” should be scrubbed from the plaza due the group’s “celebration of violent antisemitic terrorism.”
