GOP Rep. slams Trump for criticizing Biden while abroad

A Republican lawmaker said President Trump made a misstep to criticize former Vice President Joe Biden while abroad.

Trump backed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s attack on the 2020 hopeful during a news conference in Tokyo on Monday.

"Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual. He probably is, based on his record. I think I agree with him on that," Trump said, also calling Biden a “disaster.”

In a tweet, Trump said he “smiled” when Kim called Biden “a low IQ individual.”

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said Monday it was “wrong” for Trump to agree with Kim.

“Politics stops at water’s edge,” he tweeted. “Never right to side with murderous dictator vs. fellow American.”

But Kim and Trump are in love.
