A recent remark from a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives has caught fire prompting shocking comments from some of her congressional colleagues.
Democratic Congresswoman Delia Ramirez stated during a press conference in Mexico over the weekend, ‘I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.’
That comment sparked ire from several Republicans in the MAGA wing of the party, as President Donald Trump pushes his ‘American First’ vision.
Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles wrote on X ‘Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.’
The Department of Homeland Security’s official X account responded to the video by posting a Theodore Roosevelt quote about American allegiance and condemning divided loyalties.
Conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley, who posts under the handle @DC_Draino on X wrote: ‘this is why we must abolish birthright citizenship.’ O’Handley also added that ‘she must be stripped of her citizenship and deported along with her entire illegal alien family.’
