Embattled Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), already under fire for his support of the Capitol insurrection and the big lie, and for saying he trusted the MAGA domestic terrorists over Black Lives Matter protestors, and for his record of spreading Russian disinformation, is now the target of mockery over his false claim about how Greenland got its name.
There seems to be some GOP fascination with the autonomous territory that is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Although it spans more than 830 square miles, Greenland has a population of just 56,000 people. And President Donald Trump infamously wanted to purchase the island â perhaps because it s the largest in the world â or trade it for Puerto Rico.
