"Miller and his wife are unhinged and delusional."

Once again, the internet is appalled by something White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said.

Two clips from a recent interview with CNN host Jake Tapper are going viral. Here's the first:
TAPPER: Can you rule out that the US is going to take Greenland by force?
STEPHEN MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.
TAPPER: So you can't take military force off the table?
MILLER:… pic.twitter.com/9ikEPvlBVA

Jake shows a tweet from Stephen's wife, Katie, who posted a map of Greenland covered with an American flag and the word: "SOON." Jake asks Stephen to rule out the US taking Greenland "by force."
Instead of ruling it out, Stephen gives a nothing burger of a response, bringing up Greenland's population and insisting the Trump administration's "formal position" has long been making Greenland part of the United States. When Jake repeatedly asks him to rule out military force, Stephen gives this response:
The clip ends with this not-at-all-worrying comment:
And here's the second thing he said that has people scratching their heads:
Stephen Miller goes on a rant defending Trump's imperialist aggression against Venezuela: "We’re a superpower… we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower."

When Stephen goes on a rant about the West's "apologizing and groveling and begging" following World War II, Jake says he doesn't even know what Stephen's talking about (LOL), and Stephen seemingly gets upset.
The clip ends with this:
Oh boy, did people have a lot to say about this interview in the comments:
"This little shit is basically assuming nobody would lift a finger to defend Greenland, so they can just simply waltz in and take it like it’s unattended luggage, because in his rotted little worldview anything in the Western Hemisphere is automatically theirs."
"The 'Peace' Administration btw."

"I’m sure this is going to go over well with our allies in Denmark. We’re ruining every relationship in the world."
"This crazy man is in this position? What a shameful time for our country. One of the most unappealing sad pathetic persons I’ve ever seen , and people voted for this shit? My god. Thanks @jaketapper for trying to shut him up."
"Miller translation: 'We’re a gang of bullies … we are going to conduct ourselves as a gang of bullies.'"
"By his logic, the United States pretty much has the right to 'be in charge' wherever we want. Does he know what that makes him...?"
"It was the darkest of times, it was the dumbest of times."

"Miller and his wife are unhinged and delusional."
And finally, "Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia... We seem to be going in the direction of WW3. And this time, the bad guy seems to be the USA."
