Fox Host: Kim Probably Hates That 'He Has To Murder His People'

By Nicole Lafond | May 23, 2018 10:43 am

Fox News host Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un “probably” wants to meet with President Donald Trump because he “doesn’t love to be the guy who has to murder his people all day.”

The eyebrow raising suggestion was made after “Fox and Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Hegseth why Kim had agreed to meet and discuss denuclearization with Trump.

At first, Hegseth offered that Kim “wants a picture with the American president” and is likely weary of the economic sanctions the U.S. and its allies have imposed against North Korea in recent months.

“And I think there probably is a point at which the guy who wants to meet with Dennis Rodman and loves NBA basketball and loves Western pop culture, probably doesn’t love to be the guy who has to murder his people all day,” he said. “Probably wants some normalization. Let’s give it to him if we can make the world safer.”

The stupidest thing you'll hear all day. I'm just surprised it didn't come out of Ashley's or Doocy's mouth.

How hard can it possibly be to stop murdering people? Has any of you fellow DUers ever tried to not murder people?

What are your experiences with not murdering people?
