MAGA Senator Says Greenland Needs to Be Saved From “Radical Mullahs”

Apparently, without Donald Trump’s intervention, radical mullahs will take over Denmark.

A sitting senator proposed annexing Greenland on the wild assumption that Denmark may, in the coming decades, become an Islamic theocracy.

Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri appeared Thursday on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he supported President Donald Trump’s ongoing ambitions to take over Greenland. The subject shot back into the news cycle this month when the president reiterated that he believes the Danish territory “should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark” while at the NATO summit.

Among the reasons Schmitt gave for backing Trump’s pipe dream: “I don’t know what Denmark’s government looks like in 50 years. It could be run by a bunch of radical mullahs or something, I don’t really know.”

David Michael Brouillette was identified by his ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette, as the ICE agent who fatally shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, the Portland Press-Herald reports. Ashley told the newspaper over the phone Thursday afternoon that her former husband had called her admitting to the shooting and defending his actions.

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said to the Press-Herald. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.
