On Thursday, House Republicans passed a bill sponsored by Marjorie Taylor Greene to officially rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The vote was largely partisan, with almost all Republicans supporting it and all Democrats opposing it. Greene justified the change as a patriotic act, linking it to her views on immigration and cartels. Democrats criticized the bill as futile and a waste of time, asserting it wouldn't address any pressing issues facing the Gulf region.
The truth is, this bill won't fix a single problem. It does absolutely nothing to help the Gulf coast. It won't create a single job. It's not going to fix our climate crisis. It's just dumb.
You would think this would be the easiest vote that the United States House of Representatives could take, because, after all, everybody in here swore an oath to defend our constitution and to defend our laws and our land.
