Tillerson says that Warmbier is on his way back to the U.S. to be re-united with his family. He says in a statement that the State Department secured Warmbier’s release at the direction of President Donald Trump. Tillerson says the State Department continues discussing three other detained Americans with North Korea.
The announcement comes as former NBA player Dennis Rodman is paying a return visit to North Korea.
Warmbier is a University of Virginia student from suburban Cincinnati. He was sentenced in March 2016 after a televised tearful public confession to trying to steal a propaganda banner.
Does he get to keep the banner? Sorry. I guess the State Dept. isn’t quite dead yet. I hope we don’t find out we’re selling them missiles to finance Russian Hookers.
Dennis Rodman strikes again
Don’t know how this stuff goes down behind closed doors, but at this point Rodman has a stronger accidental human rights record than Tillerson.
Tillerson is a joke, he should have resigned when Donald stabbed him in the back this weekend re. Qatar…
at some point Rodman just needs to be appointed in an official capacity.
In other news, I’m beginning to think that governments actively seek out people with ridiculous names like Reality Winner and Otto Warmbier just so the stories will be more interesting to read in the media.
