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).

President Trump has made rooting out woke ideology from the federal government a top priority. The committee declined to say which other projects could be on the chopping block.

The mural and renaming came in the feverish months after the death of George Floyd in May 2020 under the leadership of the city’s longtime mayor Muriel Bowser.

But Congress has the power to override decisions from the local government, under the Home Rule Act of 1973. In 2023, for example, Congress did away with a law passed by the D.C. city council that would have sharply lowered maximum penalties for violent crimes in the city.

Trump and Republicans have called for the city to be fully taken over the federal government to help stem the city’s rampant violent crime.

“Mayor Bowser and Democrat-run Washington, D.C. are focused on virtue signaling and spending taxpayer money to paint Black Lives Matter instead of the record spike in homicides, carjackings, and other violent crimes,” said Arkansas GOP Sen. Tom Cotton.

“Washington D.C.’s failures are a reminder why the city must never become a state,” he added.
