Y’all need to trade out the Maryland girl with someone else 😔

[frontier]

Y'all are complaining about your states' representatives, but I think that Hawaii's representative is lowkey popping. I may be a bit biased, but I think that Hawaii's representative is the best of all the representatives.

“The best dish in Maryland is gumbo!”

*Maryland has left the chat*

[myaw]

Maryland chick is disowned for saying gumbo instead of crabcakes.

[bryannab]

Whenever I click on these videos I *IMMEDIATELY* go to the comments to see what Maryland did wrong this time.

I like how Lousiana came after Maryland said "GuMbO"

[anderstrammell]

I have a theory

These people just moved to the states yesterday.

[JM-kxjk]

As a native Marylander, I can definitely say gumbo IS NOT the number one dish in MD. This woman is ALWAYS wrong!

[gabel.g]

Gumbo? I was raised in Maryland and I have never once had gumbo while i stayed there

[ajax]

Guy: What's the best dish found in Geor-
Georgia: PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES PEACHES

[jewelziie]

Ok this “TEXAN” lady has got to go. How is she going to state collard greens and other things, but not BBQ or BRISKET or TEX-MEX!?!?!? Out of all my years of my life as a TEXAN, never have I ever been invited to a park to have collared greens party. It’s always been BBQ. SMH.

[emmawalsh]

Me: *patiently waiting the whole video for the Maryland rep*
Maryland rep finally goes on.
Me: crabs, crab cakes, old bay
Maryland rep: gUmBo
Me: *spits out drink*

[royboy]

MD Girl: “Gumbo!”

Louisiana: “Hold my state.”

#FireMDgirl

[johnwhitfield]

Me: Maryland Girl better not say something other than crabs

Maryland Girl: GUMBO!

[kay_kay_kk]

Comments:
Everyone:
Arguing about the Maryland - Gumbo situation.

[jordy]

“Lobster isn’t that good”.... that is hilarious 😂😂😂

[brodyerlandson]

Not my state says something
Me: cool
Not my state says something
Me: hmm interesting
My state says something
Me: WHAT IS THIS PERSON TALKING ABOUT

[ryryaubaub]

I am convinced Maryland girl lied and isn't from there.
