Rep. Liz Cheney refused to directly respond to Pres. Trump's Saturday night tweet praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden.
When asked to respond to President Donald Trump's Saturday night tweet, in which he said that he “has confidence” in North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on nuclear talks and praised Kim’s criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden, Rep. Liz Cheney, the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, only said that Trump is"doing the right thing in terms of the policy" with North Korea.
"You know, I think that what we have seen so far with this president with respect for North Korea is that he's doing the right thing in terms of the policy. North Korea has for years, through presidencies of Republicans and Democrats, gone through the exact same steps where they try to make false promises and they get concessions from the United States and they continue their program," said Cheney, who is also a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
A Biden campaign aide responded to the tweet, telling ABC News on Saturday,"I would say the tweet speaks for itself, but it’s so unhinged and erratic that I’m not sure anyone could even say that with a straight face." Asked about the sparring between Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this past week, Cheney accused the speaker of"increasingly losing her grip on the leadership of her conference."Cheney said Democrats hoped special counsel Robert Mueller's report would deliver them"evidence they needed to move to impeachment," but it didn't.
Later, when asked about Trump's tweet calling Democrats the"do nothing party," Schumer said,"He should look at all the bills the House passed and how many of them [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell has put on the floor. The answer is none because McConnell has made the Senate a graveyard. We should be debating issues like health care, like cleaning up the swamp, like net neutrality, like supporting equal rights. We're not debating any of them.
