A Republican mayor who voted for Donald Trump is defying his executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Mayor Robert Corradino of Oswego, New York—a city along the lake's southeastern shore—told CNN's Erin Burnett that the historic body of water is central to his community's "identity." "I don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Independent," Corradino said. "This means a lot to the residents of Oswego and Oswego County."
