Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got hit with a wave of taunts Monday in another effort to legitimize the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
She posted a map of the gulf with a handwritten cutout of “America” affixed over “Mexico” on X. “This is what homeschooling looks like in GA-14!!” Greene enthused, referring to her district. “Gulf of America!!”
Greene got engulfed by snark.
One X user imagined MTG’s rationale: “Look at this distraction from food and gas prices that we claimed we could instantaneously lower.”
Another showed the lawmaker a map that renamed it the “Gulf of a Felon.”
Since President Donald Trump issued the executive order on Inauguration Day to rechristen the Gulf of Mexico, Greene has expected the world to obey Trump’s edict.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis did. Britain didn’t.
But Greene, who has already proposed legislation to solidify the renaming and get federal funding for changes on maps, is still doing her part one post at a time even if the body of water has been called the Gulf of Mexico for more than 400 years.
