During a xenophobic, racist rant about immigration on the Capitol Building steps, controversial Texas MAGA Republican Representative Troy Nehls called for a "bed sheet" to be placed over the Statue of Liberty for ten years.

The comment came just after Nehls disparaged the working class for not working as hard as he does after bragging about his plans for a lobster and ribeye feast for the 4th of July.

Speaking to Washington, D.C., correspondents Pablo Manríquez for MeidasTouch Network and Julian Andreone for Drop Site News, Nehls said:

"We gotta put a bed sheet―a big bed sheet―over the Statue of Liberty."

Nehls added while gesturing with his hands:

"She’s gotta go to sleep for a while ’cause we’re not letting anybody in anymore."
"No more. We have to get this under control. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign."

The Texas MAGA Congressman's description evoked a specific image for many people.

Nehls, a former member of Texas law enforcement who was once fired for reasons including destruction of evidence, is best known for his fawning adoration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump.

He wore a tie adorned with the POTUS's face to the State of the Union address and blamed the January 6 insurrection on everyone but Trump. In June, Nehls told reporters Trump was "born a very special baby."

The Texas Republican is not seeking reelection, but his twin brother Trever Nehls is running to replace him in Texas' 22nd congressional district.

In a joint interview for Face the Nation, Trever Nehls stated he is running because he and his brother want to "continue to support the President."

Texans should be thrilled with their priorities.

Hunter Biden Asks Blunt Question About Trump's Unpresidential Behavior—And We're Nodding Hard

Hunter Biden had a question for the White House press corps over their in-the-moment reactions—or lack thereof—to the insults and slurs flung by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump at journalists, mostly women and especially Black women.

Biden appeared on The Jim Acosta Show alongside former CNN White House correspondent Acosta and contributing editor for Mediaite and former White House correspondent for AOL and The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher. The trio discussed the double standards surrounding Trump in both how he behaves and how the press approaches him and covers his words and actions.

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
