Guam governor offers Greene history book after falsely calling US territory a foreign land

[demmiblue]

The governor of Guam offered to send Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) a history book after the conservative firebrand incorrectly referred to the U.S. territory as a foreign land during a speech railing against federal financial aid going to other countries.

Krystal Paco-San Agustin, the communicators director for Gov. Lourdes Leon Guerrero (D), told The Guam Post on Thursday that they would be "more than happy to send Representative Greene's office a copy of 'Destiny's Landfall: A History of Guam.’”

Del. Michael San Nicolas (D), a non-voting delegate representing Guam in Congress, told the outlet that he would be delivering Greene “delicious Chamorro Chip Cookies as part of our ongoing outreach to new members to introduce them to our wonderful island of Guam.”

Guam has been part of the United States since 1899, and people born on the island in the west Pacific Ocean have been considered U.S. citizens since 1950. Guam’s roughly 170,000 residents do pay federal taxes but not federal income tax.

1. What Marjorie Taylor Greene Does Not Know Could

fill a library. Her lack of knowledge, though, does not stop her mouth from moving as she speaks nonsense.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Republican stupidity about basic civics, science, and what the US actually is, is unending.

It used to be that I would say "unbelievable", not I say, "Of course. They're allergic to facts, and allergic to acquiring any kind of knowledge about anything."

3. The GOP leadership has no knowledge of politics, history, geography, logical thinking, etc.

The list goes on and on.

4. And it's not a bug, it's a feature.

They want to be like that...
