Didn't take the belly slitherers very long to get the drumbeat going.
Let me make it clear though, it wasn't Warren calling for the name removal, although there's no doubt she would be all for it.

Warren Makes Populist Appeal At Democratic Party Fundraiser
HARTFORD — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren gave Connecticut Democrats a simple charge Monday in an impassioned speech before loyal supporters at the state party's annual fundraising dinner.

To some in the party, it seemed improper that those remarks were delivered at an annual fundraiser named after slave owners — former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
State Party Chairman Nick Balletto, who addressed the crowd after Warren left the stage, said that he wanted to rename the event and remove Jefferson and Jackson's names.
"Democrats are the party of inclusion, and that's why I believe that it is time to look at the name of our biggest event of the year to make sure it reflects the diverse makeup of our party," he said.
Balletto said he would ask the Democratic State Central Committee to take a "serious look at the event's name and the use of Jefferson and Jackson." Renaming the event, he said, could still honor John Bailey, a former state party and Democratic National Committee chairman.
