Pence tells why he refused to normalize North Korean government at Olympics

Red States:

Pence famously pretended during the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony that Kim wasn’t even there as leaders sat down around each other. The move was lauded by many as the right thing to do, and lambasted by others as an undiplomatic move.

Pence clarified his actions during a round of Q&A with Axios co-founder Mike Allen, Pence said he “didn’t avoid the dictator’s sister, but I did ignore her.”

The reason he did so is to send the message that America knows who they’re dealing with.

Indeed, the North Korean regime is responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed upon mankind in the modern era. Disease, parasites, and starvation run rampant. In fact, the starvation is so horrible that the military has been ordered by the government to take food from regular citizens, and even the nuclear tests currently conducted in agitation of the U.S. has nuclear fallout currently harming its citizens.

I could go on with examples of labor camps filled with undeserving people, and the torture they endure there, or the rampant rape of female soldiers in the military, but you get the idea.

Those who "lambasted" Pence would normalize interactions with evil.  The attempts of some in teh media to praise North Korean leaders was one of the most disgraceful acts of journalism in recent memory.
