Comedian Bill Burr Slams Trump Admin Over Renaming Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America”
Controversial comedian Bill Burr has spoken out against the Trump administration, targeting their decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”. In a recent rant, Burr expressed his frustration and disappointment at the move, calling it an empty gesture that only serves to further divide Americans.
“It’s like, I don’t know what we’re doing,” Burr said in a video posted on his social media. “The f—ing epitome of this time right now, like how divisive we are that like, the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America, and people get excited. Like, how does that help your wallet? It’s an empty gesture. And then it’s also like a racist gesture,” he continued.
Burr went on to explain his reasoning, stating that renaming the body of water is nothing more than a shallow attempt to appease certain groups within the country.
“I mean, come on, who does this? Like, you’re not going to put your name on the moon or something. It’s just the Gulf. I don’t know what we’re doing,” Burr said.
