Wyoming Rep. Thinks San Diego Is on Gulf of Mexico

Welcome to the United States of Stupid.

Rep. Harriet Hageman, who was elected to Congress by the people in Wyoming just because she isn’t Liz Cheney, needs to crack open a geography book.

During a House rules committee meeting Tuesday, Hageman, last seen in these pages being yelled at by constituents, spoke in favor of President Donald J. Felon’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Her justification for making the change was, “For over 40 years, the country of Mexico has been dumping raw sewage into the area near San Diego, California,” according to Mass Live.

George Santos Hageman further said that it was an “environmental catastrophe” that Mexico refuses to address.

I seriously thought this was Kitara Ravache.Harriet Hageman makes a huge geographic mistake and says the “Gulf of America” must be reclaimed because Mexico dumped raw sewage in that area near San Diego. San Diego is 1200 miles away from the Gulf of Mexico.

The problem for the congresswoman is that neither San Diego nor the state of California is on the Gulf of Mexico.

Her testimony — laughable as it is — will likely not effect the passage of The Gulf of America Act which aims to codify the grifter-in-chief’s executive order.

Looks like Sen. Tommy Tuberville has some stiff competition for stupidest elected official on Capitol Hill. Remember: He said the government’s three branches were “the House, the Senate, and the executive.” 

George Santos' sentencing was delayed because authorities mistakenly dragged in Harriet Hageman in handcuffs.

Maggie Haberman of the New York Times doesn’t think the adjudicated rapist in the Oval Office knows what he wants from all the trade negotiations.
