NEW BRITAIN, CT — The city of New Britain, depending on who you talk to, had no intention of renaming “Paul Manafort Dr.” But in order to stop the news media from doing stories about it Mayor Erin Stewart ordered a new one.

On Wednesday morning around 8:30 a.m. the sign was changed to “Paul Manafort Sr. Dr.”

“It’s just clarifying which Paul Manafort the street is after so CNN stops writing fake news articles,” Stewart said Wednesday in a text.

The half-mile stretch of road was named for Paul Manafort Sr., the late father of the embattled former Trump campaign manager. The elder Manafort served as Republican mayor of New Britain from 1965 to 1971. He was a war veteran and a businessman who died in 2013.

The road cuts through Central Connecticut State University.

1. Is the mayor a republican?

“It’s just clarifying which Paul Manafort the street is after so CNN stops writing fake news articles,” Stewart said Wednesday in a text.

Cannot imagine a Democrat saying something like this.
