White House Responds To Congresswoman’s Comments During Summit In Mexico

Well, she finally said the quiet part out loud.

Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez stood in Mexico, of all places, and proudly told a crowd—in Spanish, no less—that she’s “a proud Guatemalan before an American.”

That’s right. A sitting U.S. Congresswoman, sworn to serve the United States and its citizens, declared her allegiance to another country… on foreign soil… at a radical anti-American conference. You can’t make this stuff up.

But before we even get to the predictable hand-waving from the mainstream media, or the “context matters” excuses that always follow these kinds of remarks, let’s stop right here: What if a Republican said something remotely like this? The outrage cycle would be instant. CNN would run a 12-hour special. MSNBC’s hair would be on fire. But when a Democrat does it? Crickets. Or worse—applause.

Ramirez’s “I’m a proud Guatemalan first” comment wasn’t a slip of the tongue. It wasn’t a mistranslation. The Daily Caller confirmed it with multiple fluent Spanish speakers. This was deliberate. It was scripted. And it was part of a larger, disturbing message: America is the problem.

She didn’t stop at just renouncing national loyalty. No, she took it several steps further, calling the United States “addicted to war,” and accusing our country—her employer, mind you—of “imperialism, militarization, conquest, control, competition.” She called it “domination.” This is the language of enemies, not citizens.

And yet, Ramirez collects a taxpayer-funded paycheck.

Now, just to add a little extra spice to the stew: her husband is a DACA recipient—he’s here illegally—and Ramirez likes to tout her “mixed-status marriage” like it’s a progressive merit badge. Her website paints their story as a struggle, a cause, something noble. But let’s be blunt: she’s openly using her political platform to push policies that benefit her own illegal immigrant husband. That’s not public service. That’s self-service.
