'Gulf of Ignorance': Bombardment of wisecracks derails MTG law hearing

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), after months of irritation that other countries won't follow President Donald Trump's order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," has introduced congressional legislation that would formalize the change and require other countries use the name as well.

But at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing marking up her bill, Democrats ridiculed the situation by forcing votes on amendment after amendment on a raft of possible odd names for the gulf, Politico reported on Wednesday.
