White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller was ridiculed over the weekend after one of his interview answers was seen as an argument in favor of beating him up.
Miller went on Fox News on Friday, where he was discussing Denmark and Trump’s desire to seize Greenland.
“Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory,” the Trump insider said.
But that didn’t sit well with observers, many of whom pointed out how antiquated the logic was.
One prominent responder was fellow Republican, Rep. Don Bacon, who chimed in, “This is 1890s thinking. He evidently doesn’t know about WW2 and the Cold War, and America’s role. Might does not make right. Right makes might.”
Journalist David Phinney simply asked, “WTF is he talking about?”
Former Pentagon insider Jim Townsend said, “Miller misses the point that Greenland is defended by NATO, not just by Denmark. If Russia or China were to threaten Greenland they would have 32 nations, including the US, come to its defense.”
Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski added, “This guy is basically inviting China to take Taiwan. Our government is in the hands of psychotic morons.”
Political commentator Alicia Smith chimed in, “Denmark is a strong NATO ally and if Greenland was attacked, NATO would defend U.S. has a military presence there not to defend for free, but because Denmark is a strong ally and agreed to allow us to have a presence in the arctic. Just a complete backwards view of the world.”
Author John Fugelsang noted, “Stephen Miller gives the moral-logic argument for bigger, stronger men to beat up Stephen Miller and take his stuff.”
