The former vice president and soon-to-be 2024 presidential candidate made a rare jab, saying that “no one should be praising the dictator in North Korea.”
Former vice president and soon-to-be 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence made a rare jab at his erstwhile running mate Saturday, saying that “no one should be praising the dictator in North Korea” or Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While he did not name Donald Trump in his comments, the dig came just one day after the former president reupped an article about North Korea’s appointment to the World Health Organization’s board on social media, writing “Congratulations to Kim Jung Un!”
“Whether it’s my former running mate or anyone else, no one should be praising the dictator in North Korea — or praising the leader of Russia, who has launched an unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine,” Pence said in an interview with Fox News in Iowa. “This is a time when we ought to make it clear to the world that we stand for freedom and we stand with those who stand for freedom.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, also in Iowa, said, "I was surprised to see that. ... Kim Jong Un is a murderous dictator." He then called the World Health Organization "a bankrupt organization."
