Regardless what you think of that racist McCarran guy, the right move was NOT to name the airport after corrupt Harry Reid.
But that's exactly what they did, and on Tuesday, 12/14/21, it will become official: https://lasvegassun.com/news/2021/de...national-airp/
Why not just call it Las Vegas International Airport?
Reid was long suspected of taking bribes throughout his tenure as Senator. Most recently, he was believed to have asked for and received a bribe $1 million from then-#2 online poker site Full Tilt, in order to support federal legalization of online poker. Convicted telemarketing scammer (and online gambling payment processor) Jeremy Johnson was the facilitator of the bribe. He recorded the session where he was asked to do it by a third party. Shortly after the money was deposited into an offshore account, Reid suddenly switched his position from "against" to "for" legalization of online poker.
The state of Utah, where this took place, wanted to investigate, but Eric Holder and the corrupt feds blocked them the entire way. This isn't just conspiracy nonsense. The Salt Lake Tribune and other SLC-area newspapers covered it extensively.
Fuck Harry Reid.
