North Korean media in a commentary on Tuesday slammed former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, condemning the prominent Democratic politician for recent comments in which he criticized DPRK leader Kim Jong Un as a “dictator.”
In an article released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), DPRK state-run media accused Biden — widely seen as a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for next year’s Presidential election — of “sophism.”
“Former U.S. Vice-President Biden has gone reckless and senseless, seized by ambition for power,” the commentary said.
“The presidential candidate from the Democratic Party during his recent election campaigning reeled off rhetoric slandering the supreme leadership of the DPRK,” it continued. “What he uttered is just sophism of an imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being, let alone a politician.”
In a statement echoing comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has long feuded with the former Vice President and Senator from Delaware, the KCNA article derided Biden for past gaffes and allegations of sexual harassment.
“It is by no means accidental that there is nonstop comment over his bid for candidacy that he is not worth pinning hope on, backed by the jeer that he is a fool of low IQ,” it said.
“He has been accused even within the Democratic Party, to say nothing of the American society, for his vulgar acts and words about women and his thoughtless remarks.”
