Republican Congresswoman's Embarrassing Geography Rant and "Gulf of America" Proposal

Republican Ignorance on Geography

The "Gulf of America" Proposal

• 🌊 Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming is criticized for her proposal to rename the Gulf of California to the "Gulf of America."
• 🗣️ Hageman's rationale is linked to Mexico dumping sewage into the Pacific Ocean, which flows to San Diego, and her belief that the US should "claim ownership" of the area.
