Jake Tapper Smacks Down New Trump Tweets on Otto Warmbier Comments: ‘There’s No Misinterpretation’


EXCERPT:

SANCHEZ: "And Jake, just as we are discussing North Korea, the President actually tweeted about Otto Warmbier and his previous comments, In a couple of tweets, the President writes that he never likes being misinterpreted, especially when it comes to Otto Warmbier and his family. He got Otto out along with three others, he writes. He says, the previous administration did nothing. Otto and his family have become a tremendous symbol of strong passion and strength which will last for many years into the future. It does not address the actual comments made by Otto Warmbier's family, in which they clearly were not not happy with the way the President praised Kim Jong-un, someone who they hold responsible for their son’s death, Jake."

TAPPER: "Yeah, there’s no misinterpretation here. It's very clear. The Warmbiers say Kim is responsible along with North Korea, and President Trump says he takes Kim at his word that he wasn’t."
