Danish Politician Accuses Stephen Miller of Having ‘Mentality of a Rapist’ Towards Greenland in Shocking MS NOW Interview

Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov spoke with Witt on Saturday about President Donald Trump’s continued threats to take over Greenland, which has been firmly under the auspices of Denmark since 1814.

"Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland. They cannot control the territory of 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, improve a territory, inhabit a territory. Denmark has failed on every single one of these tests." - (Stephen Miller)

In a shocking response to Miller, Jarlov said, “I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.”

“So, this is a new position from the American government, and we have to be able to trust the promises, the words and the alliances that we make with the Americans, because otherwise it’s not worth anything, being an ally of the Americans,” he said. “And I think it’s very crucial that we stay together because our alliance, our partnership, has kept us safe."

The United States has signed several treaties with Denmark recognizing the ownership of Greenland, several in the 20th century.

It's true. The media needs to stop playing these games.

A thing is just a thing.

It's the entitled mentality of inserting yourself somewhere without consent for the purpose of disrupting the peace of others. It's fireworks on Christmas, loud trucks speeding through the streets, or persistent “joking” after someone says stop. We're surrounded by this attitude, so I'm glad someone finally framed it that way and did not mince words.

It's this:

Versus this:

The rest of the world has been f n around, too.
It appears that some of them are entering the F O portion of the program with us.

As the saying goes:

The first step toward sobriety is to admit that you have a problem.
