The parents of Otto Warmbier responded to President Trump’s defense of Kim Jong-un in a statement on Friday, reiterating the Kim and “his evil regime” were responsible for their son’s death, CNN reported.
“We have been respectful during this summit process,” Fred Warmbier and Cindy Warmbier said in the statement. “Now we must speak out. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that.”
Wow: the Warmbier family has released this statement after @potus said he believed Kim Jong Un when Kim said he didn’t know about about the American student’s treatment pic.twitter.com/8Il7vTAdIS

After he walked away from denuclearization negotiations with Kim this week, Trump defended the ruthless dictator, telling reporters that he took Kim “at his word” when Kim said he didn’t know how Otto Warmbier was treated when he was imprisoned in North Korea for a year and a half. Warmbier was arrested for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster while he was in the country on a guided tour.
After his arrest, Warmbier was forced to speak at a press conference to beg for his freedom, making Kim’s claim that he was unaware of Warmbier’s treatment unlikely. Warmbier died six days after he was returned to the U.S. and doctors believe he had been in a coma for more than a year.
Looks like another family is due for their two minutes of Retarded Hate…
Trump’'s apology tour continues with dictators. He takes every dictator at their word but did not the President of the US in 2011-2012 about where he was born. Trump even questioned the long form sealed birth certificate from the great state of Hawaii. Trump is a liar and a conman.
You beat me to it.
“Hey, don’t blame me or Kim for your son’s death. I got him out! What about OBAMA, who let this happen and then stood by and did NOTHING? And maybe someone should have thought twice before trying to steal from his hosts! If there’s two things I can’t stand, it’s a THIEF and people who don’t take personal responsibility!”
A judge, in a US federal court ruled that the Kim regime was responsible for the torture and extrajudicial killing of Otto Warmbier.
Apparently tRump knows better.
"[Kim] tells me that he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word.”
The POTUS - not just a Russian asset but a North Korean one too?
‘Disgust’ simply doesn’t cover it.
