CNN’s jaketapper on President Trump saying he doesn’t hold Kim Jong Un responsible for Otto Warmbier’s death: It's “the President yet again taking the word of brutal dictators regarding crimes against their victims, including Americans.”
"He felt badly about it. He felt very badly," Trump said at a news conference after his second summit with Kim, after saying they discussed the matter privately."He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word."North Korea released Warmbier, an American student, in June 2017 after more than a year of imprisonment, returning him to the US in a coma. Warmbier, who was 22 at the time, was blind, deaf and never regained consciousness.
— Nikki Haley February 28, 2019 Sen. Sherrod Brown, the Ohio Democrat whose constituents include Warmbier's parents, said Trump's comment"sends a message to dictators." Former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum said it was"reprehensible, what he just did.""He gave cover, as you said, to a leader who knew very well what was going on with Otto Warmbier," Santorum told CNN's John Berman.
— Donald J. Trump February 27, 2019 Trump did acknowledge that North Korean prisons -- a nefarious facet of Kim's repressive rule -- are"rough."Kim oversees one of the world's most repressive regimes, one that human rights groups say includes concentration camps, starvation and medical experimentation on human subjects. The UN estimates that North Korea has 80,000 to 120,000 people in its gulags.
