“God this is stupid.”
Freshman congressman Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) went viral on X this week for proposing the removal of the Statue of Liberty to protest the GOP’s “bigoted” immigration bill.
The bill would restrict the asylum process for people crossing the border and require resumed construction on the border wall.
“My colleagues from the other side of the aisle, let’s be honest with immigrants who deserve better than what you’re offering them. Don’t welcome immigrants if you plan to reject them. If you keep pushing your bigoted H.R. 2 bill, then also pass this bill. I’ve taken the liberty of drafting it for you,” Frost said, holding up the draft. “It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here.”
“This is who you are, removing the fabric of America. So, I want to know which Republican, who supports and voted for H.R.2, will introduce this bill,” he continued. “If you’re gonna support H.R.2 and these bigoted measures, the least you can do is not be a d–n liar.”

Conservatives on X reacted to Frost’s ridiculous stunt.
This is ridiculous,” The Telegraph contributor Nile Gardiner remarked.
Fox News contributor Guy Benson agreed, “god this is stupid.”
“Hey! Statue!” The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller joked, pointing out the leftist trope.
“Democrats can’t decide if they want to topple statues or have them make our laws for us,” writer Ryan James Girdusky posted.
