Pence Ridiculed
Pyongyang, February 17 (KCNA) -- Leading newspapers of the DPRK on Saturday carry a signed commentary deriding U.S. Vice-President Pence.

Noting that Pence did not take his place wherever he went during his south Korea visit, being a common object of hatred, the commentary says:

Notably when our high-level delegation came up to him, he dared not look at it.

On the afternoon of Feb. 9 he was late at the pre-opening reception as he had a photo session with Japanese Prime Minister Abe and in less than five minutes after his appearance at the event stealthily disappeared not listening to the congratulatory speech.

At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, too, he took the seat just before our delegation but did not dare turn his eyes towards it.

His behavior reminded one of a criminal wishing to sink through the floor.

Recalling that Pence said he didn't require any contact with the north Korean delegation and he asked the south side authorities to fix schedule not to encounter it, the commentary goes on:

In this regard, the DPRK made clear its stand that it has never begged the U.S. for dialogue and will never do so in the future, too, that the DPRK has no intention to meet with the U.S. side during the visit to south Korea and that it doesn't want to use the sports festival such as the Winter Olympics as a political leverage nor feel the necessity.

After all, Pence, a backseat driver, had to go back to his den after exposing himself to public disgrace.

As seen in Pence's recent tour of south Korea the harder the Trump group resorts to such foolish acts, the more vividly the miserable face of the beleaguered U.S. is laid bare.

If Trump and his group want to avoid more disgrace and shame before eyes of the world, they had better reflect on all their crimes against the DPRK and honestly regret for having sent such human scum as Pence to the gathering of peace.
