New details are emerging about a heated meeting on Saturday afternoon at the Bayerischer Hof hotel in Munich between several senators and members of Congress and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, along with Greenlands Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
It was during this meeting that Senator Lindsey Graham reportedly went completely off the rails.
The American outlet Puck had previously described how so-called f-bombs (f short for the word fuck, ed.) were thrown around the room.
Imagine Graham on his worst day, a source told Puck.
But Berlingske can now reveal that events unfolded even more violently than previously reported and that Grahams outburst was directed in particular at Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
He called her little lady, a source who was in the room told Berlingske.
However, the prime minister did not appear affected by what everyone present perceived as extremely degrading and outright sexist.
She seemed cool, the source said.
When Graham had finished, Frederiksen simply responded:
When youre done with that, the meeting can continue.
Earlier, Graham had also stressed to Frederiksen and Nielsen that Donald Trump was the President of the United States and thus the most powerful man in the world.
The implication: neither Denmark nor Greenland should believe they are anything in comparison with the mighty United States.
This rant, as a Danish source who was present in the room described it, came across as extremely demeaning toward Denmark and Greenland particularly after the little lady remark directed at Mette Frederiksen.
Grahams behavior was described by a source as outright disturbing, shocking, and extremely inappropriate.
An almost theatrical scene also unfolded between Graham and Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
Graham yawned directly in his face in a way that could only be interpreted as mocking, the source told Berlingske.
It became too much for some of the American participants at the meeting, and Senator Elissa Slotkin (Democrat) was reportedly so shocked that she stood up and left the meeting.
In a sense, the meeting marked the culmination of Grahams angry outbursts.
Already on Friday, he had stunned observers on live television when asked about Greenland.
Who the hell cares who owns Greenland? Graham said, according to CSPAN.
Participants at the meeting described his conduct as completely out of line.
According to Berlingskes information, there was quiet speculation afterward as to whether the senator from South Carolina had lost his composure entirely whether he was not in his right mind when meeting the Danish and Greenlandic leaders.
Only Graham himself likely knows the answer to that.
