Democratic Sen. Coons: 'Your Average Middle American' Is Too Stupid to Find Greenland on a Map

Townhall ^ | 3/31/25 | Rebecca Downs

[DallasBiff]

Coons was trying to highlight his party's issue with the Trump administration looking to get involved with Greenland for the sake of national security. As Townhall covered all last week, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance traveled to Greenland, where they met with American Guardians at a U.S. Space Force base on the island. The Democratic senator claims he wants to see the administration focus on other issues, arguing that perhaps Americans are hoping for that as well. He couldn't just say that, though. He had to insult these Americans in the process as well.

In remarks that the Rapid Response 47 X account aptly noted amounted to Democrats "SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS," Coons offered that "your average Middle American" couldn't even find Greenland on a map, implying that they were too stupid

Well gee, Sen. Coons, I went to an elementary public school in the late 60's and early 70's, and there was globe in the classroom, and we had a test to point out where countries were on the globe, I got 100%, even knew the difference between East and West Germany.

I guess Sen. Coons is talking about his geographically illiterate voters.

Eff you Coons.

[Blennos]

Actually, Greenland is one the easiest countries to find on a globe or world map.

[fso301]

Or tip over and fall into the ocean.

[I want the USA back]

There are a lot of stupid Americans — the ones who voted for this dunce.

Chris Coons is such a POS.

[Ann Archy]

He looks like a Retarded kid!

[No name given]

Exactly, the only stupid people I see are the demonrats.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Do they still teach geography in school?

[BigEdLB]

More Americans can find Greenland in a map than those who can find Delaware. They question if you are a legitimate Senator, Mr Coons.

[Ann Archy]

It’s the BIGGEST ISLAND ON THE PLANET!!!

[Jonty30]

I know where Greenland is on a map.
Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian.

[sjmjax]

Perhaps Coons is right.
However, I believe it says more about our government run public education than our citizens intelligence.

[Frank Drebin]

So Senator Coons is admitting that the Department of Education has been a complete failure and the shutting down of the useless federal department is fully justified. Thank you, Senator.

[Jonty30]

For most Americans, it’s due to a lack of curiosity bey0ond their high school education.

“Coons offered that “your average Middle American” couldn’t even find Greenland on a map, implying that they were too stupid”

If so, it speaks volumes regarding the horrendously lackluster results generated by the Department of Education.

Stupid libtard.

Funny you say that because most Canuks can't distinguish between their arse and a hole in the ground.

[Rummyfan]

Is he indicting our education system? Or is he just contemptful of Americans?

[frank ballenger]

Lucky for the Dems like the ones who voted for him.

Without evil and stupid people due to the declining quality of people in the evolution of the human race, the Dems would not win elections. 🙈🙉🙊 (D)

[Rummyfan]

Largest island in the world.... it’s hard to miss it.

[Texas Eagle]

He's not wrong. The question is why are they so geographically illiterate after 12 years of FREE government run/Union operated schools and at least 4 years of "higher education".
