On the other hand she’s got a point. Its like taxation without representation, a legitimate bitch that will stick around. The only way to make this go away for good is PR independence and allowing DC residents to vote in Maryland. The Northern Marianas don’t give a $hit about representation.
It’s blacks. USS would disagree.
This woman is foolish.
And so obvious but I think we need to spell out for her, but the Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. are not states.
Only states have voting representatives in Congress.
She is a nonvoting delegate from the Virgin Islands.
Doesn’t she know her own legal status in Congress?
I’d give those territories their seats in the House, but ONLY if we reformed elections to the point of them being totally secure (which I don’t see happening, at all).
“she accused the U.S. in House floor remarks of having a “colonies problem.”
Gee......now where in the world did she get that idea from I wonder. 🤔
This is the 21st century version of no taxation without representation?
This bimbo really needs to get a real job. Somebody should have knocked the crap out of her. What a maggot.
Some territories of the United States are not states, and therefor do not have the status of states, thus they do not vote for President, have voting members of Congress nor have other federal responsibilities. There are some federal laws that also cannot be applied to territories and their residents. Its a mixed bag and some territories are quite happy for what, not being a state, is not imposed on them, while their territorial security is protected by the United States.
I watched that little hissy for scene. She embarrassed herself. She always does.
Her real point is that the Virgin Islands should be a state so that she can vote.
Here’s a trade: We return the worthless Virgin Islands to Denmark in exchange for Greenland.
This clown is a NON-VOTING member of the House- a figurehead only, and “represents” the Territory of the US of the US Virgin Islands. That’s it- she has no vote- buuuuut, the dhimos use her to BLAB and Blackmouth the Session and waste time.
She did serve on one of the “peach 45” impeachements,can’t recall which one- but she had NO vote on that committee either. Maybe it was the 2nd one chaired by the Convicted Bribe Taking Impeached former federal judge then Congressman and now thankfully dead— Alcee Hastings. The gold plumbing bribe taking Fed Judge convicted and removed from the bench by the US Senate. Perfect choice to run a fake impeachment.
Let’s make Greenland a non-voting member!
