Carter Condemns Radical Anti-American Remarks From Democrat Rep

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today introduced a resolution condemning recent anti-American remarks made by Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL). Rep. Ramirez, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, recently said that she is “a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” The resolution states that elected officials are expected to serve the American people, not foreign governments, and that comments of such character call into question a member's ability to fulfill their oath of office. “Every Member of Congress swears an oath of allegiance to our country and to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. For a sitting member of Congress to openly prioritize another nation over America is unacceptable and a betrayal of the trust her constituents have placed in her,” said Rep. Carter. “This resolution affirms the obvious: Members of Congress must put America First.” Read full resolution text here . ###
