A first-term Georgia congresswoman who mistakenly referred to Guam as foreign land when she railed against federal financial aid going overseas will soon get cookies from the island that bills itself as "Where America's day begins."
"I'm a regular, normal person. And I wanted to take my regular – normal person, normal, everyday American values, which is: We love our country. We believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America – not for what, China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam – whatever, wherever," said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Feb. 27 at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) which headlined former President Donald Trump. "If we want to build roads, if we want to put money into schools, if we want to build border walls, we want it right here at home."
Guam has been in American territory since the Spanish American war ended in 1899, and its residents are born American citizens
The congresswoman, who has been criticized for her conspiracy theories in the past and who has been stripped of her committee assignments by the democratic-led Congress as a result, was not a scheduled speaker at CPAC, but apparently spoke in a small room to an online audience.
The territory's governor reportedly was also going to stop by and give the congresswoman a history book detailing the islands history since becoming a territory.
