A few years ago, the Buffalo Bills threatened to leave New York State unless a new stadium deal was secured. This kind of relocation bluff is common in the NFL, with only the Green Bay Packers standing out as a team with a municipally owned facility and a market too small to seriously consider relocation. Despite the ever-present threat of the Bills moving to a more lucrative market, Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul ultimately signed a deal providing $600 million in state funding for a new $2.1 billion stadium for the Bills, with Erie County contributing an additional $250 million. This was after team owner Terry Pegula threatened to move the franchise to Austin, Texas, where he would privately finance a stadium.

Despite numerous requests for a classified briefing, she revealed that members of Congress remain uninformed. She criticized the Biden administration for downplaying the issue, claiming officials are offering vague explanations, such as attributing the sightings to airplanes, helicopters, or stars. “No one is buying it,” Greene declared, urging the government to “come clean.”
