A number of Republican presidential hopefuls criticized former President Donald Trump on Saturday for congratulating North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over his country's appointment to the World Health Organization's executive board.
North Korea was seated on the highly influential board this week despite the Kim regime being in near-constant violation of the United Nations' charter. Dr. Jong Min Pak, who leads the North Korean Ministry of Public Health, will now have a say in determining the WHO's agenda and policy prescriptions as a voting member of the UN organization.
"I was surprised to see that," DeSantis, who launched his presidential bid late last month, said of Trump's congratulatory message at the event."I think Kim Jong Un is a murderous dictator. They just imprisoned for life a family, including an infant, which is just outrageous. The World Health Organization is a bankrupt organization, like Kim Jong Un's bad but then joining that.
"This is not something to play with. I mean, he’s a terrible individual," she added."He’s terrible to his people, he’s terrible to our allies in the world, and I don’t think he deserves congratulations.”
