‘Fox & Friends’ host: Kim ‘probably doesn’t love being the guy that has to murder his people all day long”
“Fox & Friends Weekend” host Pete Hegseth said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “probably doesn’t love being the guy that has to murder his people all day long” during an interview on the network Wednesday morning.
“I think he wants a picture with the American president,” Hegseth said on the show. “The sanctions are having massive effect there.”
“And then I think there’s probably a point at which the guy who wants to meet with [former NBA star] Dennis Rodman, and loves NBA basketball and loves Western pop culture, probably doesn’t love being the guy that has to murder his people all day long,” Hegseth continued.
“[He] probably wants some normalization. Let’s give it to him if we can make the world safer,” he concluded.
Trump and Kim are still scheduled to meet for the first time on June 12 in Singapore.
That meeting has been thrown into doubt, with the president saying earlier this week that it “may or may not work out” for that particular date and North Korea expressing the same sentiment after objecting to joint military exercises by the U.S. and South Korea.
