Members of both parties criticized President Trumps handling of North Korea on Sunday after the president tweeted that he has confidence in Kim Jong Un and quoted North Korean state-run medias assessment that former vice president Joe Biden is a low IQ individual.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a military veteran who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, cited the Memorial Day holiday in taking issue with Trumps message.
Its Memorial Day Weekend and youre taking a shot at Biden while praising a dictator, Kinzinger tweeted. This is just plain wrong.
Another Republican, Sen. Joni Ernst (Iowa), said she certainly wouldnt trust Kim. Ernst, who is also a veteran and serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said she was disturbed by North Koreas recent missile test as well as by Trumps reaction.
I think Japan does have reason to be concerned, and I am concerned as well, she said on CNNs State of the Union. We need to see North Korea back off of those activities, and we need to take a very strong stance on that.

Obama for not getting the job done. Then the corporate media will fall back to bothsiderism when Pres. Obama's approach to No Ko was NOTHING like fatso's approach to No Ko. As I recall, Pres. Obama wasn't in a three-way love affair with any murderous dictators and murderous despots like tRump IS.
