Ohio Republicans want to declare June 14th 'President Donald J. Trump Day'
A pair of Ohio representatives want to make June 14th a day to honor former President Donald Trump.
Republican Reps. Jon Cross of Kenton and Reggie Stoltzfus of Paris Township sent an email to their House colleagues Friday asking them to cosponsor an upcoming bill "to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history."
"Let's show the 3,154,834 Ohio voters who cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump that we as a legislature recognize the accomplishments of his administration," according to the request for co-sponsors.

Yes, it's the former president's birthday, but it's also a national holiday: Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777.
"I don’t like the idea of changing an existing federal holiday that honors the flag," Rep. Jeff Crossman, D-Parma, said. "I think it’s disrespectful. "

Every time I think to myself, "Our legislators can't do anything dumber than THIS ..."
The sad thing is that this will likely pass our legislature because we have absolutely lost our friggin' minds in this state.
