‘Democrats Aren’t Afraid to Rename Anything’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Makes Case for Gulf of America

This is a lightly edited transcript of House floor remarks made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

I’m honored to be here today in front of the American people as we debate the merits of the Gulf of America Act. This would rename the body of water, formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico, to the Gulf of America.

This is such an important thing to do for the American people. The American people deserve pride in their country, and they deserve pride in the waters that we own, that we protect with our military and our Coast Guard, and all of the businesses that prosper along these waters.

But Democrats today are outraged. They’re outraged because they love the cartels more than any other people in the world, more than the American people. They spent the past four years funding and voting for policies that ripped our borders open and allowed our country to be invaded by millions and millions of people. Drugs and fentanyl that murdered over 300 Americans every single day. Human trafficking, child sex, trafficking, terrorist, and millions of people that we have no idea where they are in the interior of this country.

Democrats are outraged today because they are America last and they hate anything that would give the American people pride. The Gulf of America is one of the most important things that we can do this Congress.

This is an executive order written by the president of the United States, which by the way, is president today because the American people rose up and voted against a Democrat party that was completely America last. Section one of the executive order lays out the purpose in policy and directive stating it is the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes.

The naming of our national treasures, including breathtaking, natural wonders and historic works of art, should honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans in our nation’s rich past.

Americans have watched Congress week in and week out rename post offices. Democrats vote for it all the time.

Democrats aren’t afraid to rename anything. They’ve been renaming military bases because they hate our history and hate our heritage. This is also the same Democrat party that cheered when their ground troops, Antifa and radical rioters, went throughout American cities and tore down statues like Lincoln and Washington.

The Democrat party doesn’t want to preserve America’s rich history or promote pride in our country, our lands, our people, our businesses, and yes, our waters, the Gulf of America.

The Democrat Party wants to remain the best business partner to the cartels that they’ve ever had. It’s the cartels that have been enriched by tens of billions of dollars because of Democrat policies, and they’ll continue to protect them and fight for them.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
