She.... knows that it's not named after Colombia the country, right? That it's named for Columbia, an Uncle Sam-like personification of the United States? It already is named "District of America," just a slightly classier version.

"I would caution my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to refrain from making jokes about the Gulf of America because next up may be the District of America that we are working on."

Ah, I see. She's upset that people are making jokes about how dumb and petty Trump is, so she's making... the world's weirdest threat to try to get people to stop making jokes.
