Republican senators were steaming Thursday over President Trump's vehement defense of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's role in the death of American college student Otto Warmbier.
Trump's statement that he believed Kim when he said he didn't know at the time of Warmbier's treatment left a number of GOP senators upset.
"I personally find that statement extremely hard to believe," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).
Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who represents Warmbier's home state, warned the president not to be "naïve" about the "brutal nature" of the North Korean regime in a speech on the Senate floor.

He's your boy GOP. Most of you have been kissing his sphincter since 2016.

Hardly.
They only fume when their taxes are raised, when policies help the 99%, or when
they think their religion is under attack because they can't oppress others.
