During an empassioned speech before the 2018 CPAC crowd in National Harbor Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday slammed the media for fawning all over North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s sister at the Olympic games, vowing that he will never stand up and applaud oppressive regimes that murder their own people.
“She’s abetted North Korea’s horrendous human rights abuses. So for all those in the media who think I should've stood and cheered with the North Koreans, I say: The United States of America doesn't stand with murderous dictatorships - we stand up to murderous dictatorships," Pence declared.
