From Wikipedia:

Ohio Congressman Mike Turner vowed to fight the change, commenting that "I�m certain [Obama] didn�t notify President McKinley�s descendants, who find this outrageous." (Both of McKinley's daughters died in early childhood, leaving no descendants.

He's not wrong :v:

You'd think he'd just changed the name to "Mount Kill Whitey" or something with all the bitching going on, holy poo poo.

So Jeb Bush went on a 5 minute tear today in Spanish, crying about Trump

Among the comments (translated by Mac Caputo)

Yes, he did say "blah blah blah" in Spanish

The whole thing (this and the English bits) is a grown rear end man having a temper tantrum and it's amazing. Because he doesn't just flip out about Trump, he started screeching about Politico reporting he is having money troubles, and the rest of the press going after things he said instead of "policy" (that would be the stuff he said on Iraq, women's health care, and immigration)

Basically a little brat who has always had everything handed to him isn't getting deferred to and feted, and he's pissed about it.

Someone in the RSF already said it but it bears repeating that Trump could just play Bush talking in spanish without subtitles and it would help him in the republican primary.

Before this name change, how many americans do you goons think knew that there was a mountain named after McKinley. Or that it was even named after a president. Or that he was from Ohio. Or that the mountain reachest the highest elevation in North America. Or that the mountain was in Alaska.

Well, John Boehner knew, I guess. And those imaginary McKinley descendants, god bless their non-existent hearts.

I was under impression knowledge of both the mountain and its historic names were common knowledge, with it being the highest mountain and also a car is named after it:

Most people probably wouldn't recognize McKinley as a president though.

I loving hate modern politics. Seriously when Donald Trump is a legitimate candidate for the highest office in the nation, and our campaign breaks down into a running series of "and on day one, I will completely change these things I don't agree with for ~reasons~" it's time to salt the goddamn earth.
