Leaders Want John Wayne Name, Statue Gone From Orange County Airport | The Oklahoma Eagle

The Democratic Party of Orange County, California, is pushing to remove John Wayne’s name and statue from the county’s airport because of racist and bigoted comments the film legend made.

The Democratic Party of Orange County passed a resolution last week condemning “white supremacist, anti-LGBT and anti-Indigenous views” Wayne made in a 1971 interview.

The resolution asks the county’s Board of Supervisors to restore the international airport’s original name: Orange County Airport.

“Orange County is now a diverse region far different from the time when John Wayne was chosen as namesake for the airport,” the resolution states.

“An international airport that welcomes millions of people each year should not be named for someone whose beliefs oppose our nation’s values of equal opportunity and justice for all,” said Ada Briceño, chair of the Democratic Party of Orange County.
