Segregationist Democrat Richard Russell’s name continues to adorn the Senate’s oldest office building, despite promises by top senators that this would be the year they finally erased it and replaced it with the name of their newly departed colleague Sen. John McCain.
“Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said on Twitter just after McCain’s office announced his death.
Four months later, the resolution was never introduced. McCain does have some memorials, including the John McCain guided-missile destroyer, already named after his father and grandfather, both admirals, which also became the senator’s namesake, and one of the terminals of Sky Harbor International Airport, which was renamed last year after McCain.

just wait for the comments to attack mccain. a war hero. while defending trump the draft dodger.
Good riddance of this partisan hack McCain who opposed Trump at every corner, war criminal
how is he a hack if he was following his constituents? that’s called not a hack!
With what exactly was twice presidential loser a war hero? With causing the death of 134 sailors and seriously injuring 161 sailors? If not for a pardon from President Richard Nixon, John McCain would have been court martialed for treason and war crimes against his own men in Vietnam.
With being involved in Hillary’s fake Dossier? He had admitted that he passed the dossier of claims of a Russian blackmail plot against Trump. He had hired an English ex-MI6 agent to dig up dirt on Trump and make up a false story to the world!!
With being bothered that the wiretapping and spying on Trump during the campaign was revealed?
Excellent points.
exactly the world is a better place without this turncoat, partisan, serial cheater getting in the way of Trump.
“just wait for the comments to attack mccain…”
Ask and ye shall receive.
McCain’s name should be honored in big letters… on every congressional toilet.
No way would I want to see his name anywhere, even in the toilet.
