Media Miss by the right: GOP lawmaker calls Stephen Miller ‘dumb’ after Greenland interview

Republican Rep. Don Bacon publicly criticized his own party this week as the Trump administration renewed talk of bringing Greenland under U.S. control. 

Bacon reposted a CNN interview with Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, in which Miller said Greenland should be part of the U.S.
