GOP Sen. Thom Tillis strongly criticized White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s recent comments suggesting the US should take control of Greenland, calling the remarks “amateurish” and “absurd,” and urging President Donald Trump to fire people who give that kind of advice.

“I’m sick of stupid,” the retiring North Carolina senator said during a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday. “I want good advice for this president, because I want this president to have a good legacy.

On Monday, Miller asserted during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” that the formal position of the Trump administration is that “Greenland should be part of the United States.”
