North Korea Trolls Political Scandal Rocking South Korean Politics
|It was only a matter of time before the North Koreans began to pile on to the bizarre Choi Soon-sil political scandal rocking South Korean politics:
North Korea is joyfully jumping into a bizarre political scandal rocking Seoul, calling it the inevitable result of a corrupt regime and saying the administration of South Korean President Park Geun-hye is “the most deformed, abnormal and stupid in contemporary society.”
Pyongyang, while allowing none of its media the freedom to point criticism at its own leadership, has wasted no opportunity to lambaste Park in the harshest ways it can.
The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency on Monday called the scandal a “hideous power-backed corruption case unprecedented in South Korean history.”
Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling party, added the “deformed, abnormal and stupid” characterization and, just for good measure, called Park a “colonial stooge.” [Washington Post]
