In what could prove to be a pivotal election year for the Republicans, with the midterms holding much influence, President Donald Trump arguably needs the support of his own party now more than ever. Especially as he is facing loud calls for impeachment from the Democratic Party on account of his Venezuela operation...
Yet there is currently a split forming, as some prominent Republican lawmakers are publicly disagreeing with Trump regarding his renewed annexation threats against Greenland in the wake of the Venezuela intervention.
In a series of inflammatory remarks labeled as “utterly unacceptable” by Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Trump reasserted his stance that Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, should be under U.S. jurisdiction, citing it as a “national security situation.”...
Trump’s renewed fixation on Greenland—and his refusal to back down, despite the pleas of the territory’s leadership—has now earned him rebuke from within his own party.
“This is appalling. Greenland is a NATO ally. Denmark is one of our best friends… so the way we’re treating them is really demeaning and it has no upside,” Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told CNN on Tuesday. “We’re not going to acquire Greenland. I know most of those people in Greenland want to remain independent.”
Referring to the Greenland rhetoric as one of the “silliest things” to come out of the White house over the past year, Bacon urged his fellow Republicans to join him in taking a stand. “I hope other Republicans line up behind me and make it clear to the White House this is wrong,” he said.
Here are some of the prominent Republicans who have publicly broken ranks with Trump...

no need for threats, simply offer every citizen of greenland money for their vote to join US.
Deal done.
One idiot is not “Republicans”.
Liberal Mainstream Media TDS hype
Rinos playing it safe for the midterm elections.
Stupid hit piece. Taking random quotes and trying to make them fit their narrative.
Straw man.
MSN doesn’t try to tell us where Republicans are IN ranks with President Trump
He pivots better than Abdul-Jabbar AND Olajuwon.
And the Dumbs can’t catch up.
I voted for this.
“Rinos playing it safe for the midterm elections.”
The RINOs are being bought off.
Vote them OUT.
Anyone with half a brain knows we’re not going to forcibly take Greenland..
Queue the small thinkers that have no concept that Greenland is the forward defense site of the North American Continent and critical to monitoring and protecting the Arctic
Denmark and NATO cant do shite if a missile or unknown object is launched or detected over the Pole heading toward North America
Nor can they do shite if the Chinese build airfields and port facilities to accommodate their Navy and Air Force operating in the North Atlantic…just as we are converting Europe from relying on Russian gas to shipping them LNG from the US
Nor can they do shite if China engages in building spy and space control sites in Greenland
All “protected” by thousands or tens of thousands of Chinese “ workers” arriving to build “commercial” infrastructure to mine rare earths
These people are so freaking stupid I would not buy a used car from them much less respect them as national security visionaries
did you spank the monkey while reading this MSN fantasy literature??
From Wikipedia :
[Don Bacon]
“He was one of 37 Republicans who rejected attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and one of 35 who supported the committee to investigate the January 6th attack. He has repeatedly sparred with members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus. Bacon has been among the most prominent Republican critics of the second Trump administration.[3]”
His district is (the very liberal) Omaha.
If the Republicans blow this, then they should be primaried. It’s way too important for us to take Greenland NOW.
/bingo
A few RINOs always break ranks on everything. 🙄
Why? This wasn’t even a thing until last January, and now its ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL??? What a bunch of nonsense.
