House Republicans Looking To Nix Washington’s Black Lives Matter Plaza

House Republicans are drawing up plans to scrub Black Lives Matter Plaza from the capital, The Post has learned.

The two-block woke eyesore, just steps from the White House, features the phrase Black Lives Matter in 35-foot-tall yellow block letters, written across the asphalt of two city blocks at the end of 16th Street NW.

A “DEFUND THE POLICE” message alongside the mural was added by activists and later removed during roadwork in August 2020.

“The House Oversight Committee and the Trump Administration are working on delivering a number of reforms to make our nation’s capital safe and end left-wing pet projects. This includes addressing partisan abuses by the District government such as Black Lives Matter Plaza,” says House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky).
