Something very creepy and un-American happened outside the congressional office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
During remarks at CPAC, Greene mistakenly said that Guam was a foreign land.
In response, Guam’s representative in Congress led a large contingent of Guam National Guard troops – in uniform – to her office.
Rep. Michael F.Q. San Nicolas, Guam’s only representative, and the troops briefly met with one of Greene’s aides, who said the congresswoman was not at her office.
The congressman has yet to explain why he summoned military troops to escort him to the Georgia congresswoman’s office.
In 2010, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) became a national laughingstock when he expressed concerns about the impact of additional U.S.
Should’ve laughed in their faces
Guam is not a foreign country. Nor is it a state. It is a US Territory, like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
The representative from Guam holds a courtesy position and cannot vote; almost certainly can’t introduce legislation. Just like the rep from Puerto Rico and DC.
It is actually an interesting question how he ordered, requisitioned, shanghaied, cajoled, etc. the troops who fell in behind him? Troops fall under control of the Executive, in a separate branch of the Government. Perhaps Republicans should introduce a motion of censure and hold hearings about how he was able to navigate like this inside Fortress Pelosi?
That’s the closest thing to leadership
he’s exhibited since… ever.
