ABC News: Bernie Sanders says he doesn't 'fault Trump' on North Korea

Is this Bernie's Sista Soulja moment when he pivots to the middle to triangulate between Democrats who against Trump and Trump supporters to show that Bernie is above partisanship?

Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of the early front-runners in the 2020 Democratic presidential field, said Saturday that President Donald Trump's handling of North Korea is one area where he doesn't "fault" the current commander-in-chief.

Speaking to ABC News' Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in an exclusive interview for "This Week," the Vermont senator said that Trump meeting face-to-face with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "is the right thing to do."

Karl asked Sanders how he would respond as president to the apparent launch of unidentified short-range missiles by North Korea into the Sea of Japan Friday night, the first missile launch or any kind by the country since November 2017, when it last launched a long-range missile.

"You know, this is one area, actually, where I do not fault Trump. I think the idea of sitting down with Kim Jong Un is the right thing to do. It is very, very difficult, but clearly they are a threat to the planet," Sanders said. "They are isolated. They're demagogic, and we have just got to do everything we can to have China and the people in the Pacific Rim put as much pressure on North Korea and make it clear that they cannot continue to act this way.
