Democrat Delaware Sen. Chris Coons told CNN Monday that the “average middle American” is too dumb to identify Greenland on a world map.
Coons criticized President Donald Trump’s plan to purchase Greenland from Denmark and make it U.S. territory for resource and national security purposes, arguing that the plan will not resonate with the average American because they do not even know where the island is. Trump said no options for acquiring Greenland are off the table, emphasizing that a takeover of the island is a necessity to protect the U.S. against the threat of Russia and China’s increasing influence in the arctic.
“[Trump’s] threatening a NATO ally with military action. It’s insane, it’s unmoored. And we could spend all of our time huffing and puffing about how ridiculous it is, but look, your average Trump voter is laughing at us and saying ‘he’s owning the libs,’ and your average middle American says ‘why are you wasting your time worrying about Greenland, I can’t even find it on a map,'” Coons said.

Greenland, which is semi-autonomous from Denmark, has not responded well to Trump’s ambition to annex the land. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a Sunday statement that the U.S. will not take control of the island, while Danish leaders and residents of Greenland have also expressed anger over the president’s suggestion.
Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker during a Saturday interview that there is a “good possibility” that the U.S. could acquire Greenland without military force, though he has not completely ruled it out.
The president stated on Truth Social in December that acquiring Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for the purposes of national security and freedom around the world. The U.S. currently operates Pittufik U.S. Space Base on the island, which contains a radar station that is part of the U.S.’ early warning system for ballistic missiles, according to the Department of Defense.
Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance visited Greenland on Friday, where the vice president accused Denmark of not keeping the island safe from the threat of Russia and China and said the U.S. would do a more effective job in carrying out that mission. The Danish foreign minister, who expressed displeasure at Vance’s visit, said Denmark and Greenland are “very much open to discussing” a heightened U.S. military presence on the island.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has threatened to increase his nation’s influence in the arctic, said Friday he is taking Trump’s plan to acquire Greenland “seriously.”
His constituents probably are that dumb.
And which intern pointed it out to this assclown. Dems have nothing but contempt for common folk. Hey crissy, 🖕!
Most likely.
Coons is an elitist a-hole.
They elected Biden over and over again for 50 years.................so, yes..............
Well he is, but not because of this. We’ve all seen the man in the street interviews where people can’t identify what century the civil war was in, who the revolution was fought against, who the VP is, etc etc. I mean seriously, nearly half the population actually buys the democrats and media BS. We’re surrounded by ignorant, drooling morons
Please don’t denigrate a$$holes.
I’m apparently deplorable at Geography.
I bet until Trump made his first Greenland comment, Coons couldn’t find Greenland on a map.
Look for the white spot on the map.
A buffoon from a NOTHING tiny state with dwindling national influence— since they were the state for whom the “Senator from MBNA” represented— none other than the demented Auto Pen P(resident) Joey Bags Xiden the Main Chi-Com agent in the US.
A traitor, a stupid, greedy traitor. And Coons “inherited” his Senate seat to be able to make these stupid comments— and also allow Joey Bags to pinch the nipples of his young daughter in public video, smell her hair and have only Coons’ wife to slap away the Paedo in Chief’s hands. Seriously— Coons never complained or said shite.
A worthless individual. Delaware people— get rid of him.
Given the sad state of education the last few decades, he is probably sorta right. Sad to say. But “too dumb”? No- just not informed about geography like they should be- that doesn’t equal being dumb no more so than his not knowing where some other little heard of nation is. Greenland wasn’t really high on education lists.
“His constituents probably are that dumb.”
Fact... If isn’t the only one on the map that is green they won’t find it.
Little Chrissy doesn’t think very highly of the morons who vote for him, does he? People who can’t find Greenland on a map are how DemoRATS get elected. They can’t speak English either.
White is not green... So they will never find it correctly. Too many Greenlands around the world to choose from...
and if they are that dumb...thank a liberal teacher. Mr. coons has admitted to the failure of the public schools to teach relevant education to his constituents. I applaud you Mr. coons for telling the truth about our public school systems and their failure to educate.
They go thru a lot of people to find the real idiots. ( real? they fake stupidity to make the cut )
Not dumb enough to not have a spot picked out for him at Station Nord where he should spend the rest of his miserable life.
Coons really ought to change his racist name.
