Chris Wallace Rips Trump: 'Why on Earth Would You Side With Kim Jong Un Over the Warmbier Family?'


Chris Wallace Rips Trump: ‘Why on Earth Would You Side With Kim Jong Un Over the Warmbier Family?’
by Julio Rosas | Mar 1st, 2019, 12:15 pm 2479


Fox News anchor Chris Wallace expressed his confusion and dismay at President Donald Trump saying he believes North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un did not know about the torture of Otto Warmbier.

“This strikes me as a completely unforced error by the president and the White House. Why on an issue like this, there’s no question that Otto Warmbier was brutally tortured, basically killed by the North Koreans. Why on Earth would you side with Kim Jong Un over the Warmbier family and the sense of outrage,” he asked.

“First of all, there is a real question whether the captivity and the incarceration of an American is something that the dictator of North Korea wouldn’t know about,” Wallace continued. “But even if that’s true why would you want to get into this fight? The fact is the North Korean regime was responsible. You’re getting pushback from the Warmbier family. You’re getting pushback from the president’s former U.N. Ambassador, Nikki Haley.”

“I just don’t understand why you would even get into this and make it sound like in any way you are siding with Kim and saying that he is somehow to be held blameless for what happened to Otto Warmbier,” he concluded.

Because the Warmbier family isn't going to build a gaudy apartment tower and plaster Trump's name on the side of it.

The other day I heard G Gutfield, referred to by Juan Williams, as Gutfield defending trump again and being in the 'DEEP BUNKER'.

[I like that reference, will steal it myself].

[Gutfield started yelling, (me } , ''I'm trying to be civil here ( more me } . . .

Some gaps in the fox standard trump line. Good sign.

South Sea. When I heard that I thought, perhaps land for a Trump Tower in Russia had gotten too high.

In a press conference following his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, President Donald Trump applauded North Korea's "great beaches" and said they would be a great location for condos and hotels.

As a former developer, Trump appeared to hint at that real estate could be the key to North Korea's economic development as a country.

"As an example, they have great beaches," Trump said to reporters. "You see that whenever they're exploding their cannons into the ocean. I said, 'Boy, look at that view. Wouldn't that make a great condo?'"

Trump added that North Korea could be a great location for hotels, too.
