Acosta on North Korea: We’re Moving Toward a ‘Doomsday Nightmare Scenario’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

CNN's Jim Acosta told Sen. Ed Markey (D., Mass.) on Friday that the United States is moving toward a "doomsday nightmare scenario" with regards to North Korea.

"It is building up to this sort of doomsday nightmare scenario," Acosta said. "Obviously we don't want to even consider the possibilities that North Korea could detonate a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific, but that is what they're threatening. What do you make of that threat coming from the North Koreans? Do you think that that is bluster?"

Markey said that he thinks the United States should be concerned, denouncing the "escalatory rhetoric" between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
