MSNBC’s Ruhle: Can Dennis Rodman ‘Be Some Sort of Back Channel’ for Trump to N. Korea?

‘Rodman has received red carpet treatment during previous trips, but he has been widely criticized for visiting the regime during the time of high tensions between the U.S. And North Korea over its nuclear weapons program’

EXCERPT:

RUHLE: “That’s right. And that trip for Dennis Rodman is being sponsored by a digital marijuana bank. Joining me now is ‘The Daily Beast’ columnist Gordon G. Chang. He’s also the author of ‘Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On the World’. And my panel, Evan Siegfried and Alec Ross still with me. Gordon, let’s start with you. Dennis Rodman might actually be the only person in the world friends with Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump. Is there an -- and argument to be made that he could be some sort of back chanel for the president? I can’t even believe I’m asking that question.”
