Rep. Harriet Hageman made a geographical gaffe as she defended changing the body of water's name.
Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) made a wild geographical blunder at a House rules committee meeting on Monday when she suggested that San Diego borders the Gulf of Mexico.
Hageman went to bat for a bill — introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — that looks to require federal laws, maps and other materials to rename the body of water to the Gulf of America.
“I think another reason why we should change this to the Gulf of Amexi — of America versus the Gulf of Mexico is for over 40 years, the country of Mexico has been dumping raw sewage into the area near San Diego, California,” Hageman declared.
She went on to claim that both she and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin were recently in the area, adding that it’s a “horrific” situation and “environmental catastrophe” that Mexico refuses to fix.
“That is another reason why we need to retake and claim ownership of this area and make sure people do know that it is the Gulf of America,” she added.
