A 'fool of low IQ': North Korea derides US presidential candidate Joe Biden
(CNN)North Korean state media has launched a stinging attack on the former United States vice president and current presidential candidate, Joe Biden, mocking him as a "fool of low IQ."
The comments, published Wednesday, appear to closely mirror remarks made by US President Donald Trump and his supporters against the former vice president. In March, Trump called Biden "another low IQ individual," while his attorney Rudy Giuliani described him as a "mentally deficient idiot."
North Korea's criticism of Biden comes in response to comments made by the former vice president in which he referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "dictator" and a "tyrant" during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Saturday.
North Korean state media, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), accused Biden of "slandering rhetoric," and described him as "reckless and senseless, seized by ambition for power."

Biden responds to North Korea insults: No surprise they want Trump in White House
Joe Biden hit back at North Korea on Wednesday after its state-run media outlet slammed him as a fool of low IQ," saying it was "no surprise" the regime "prefers" President Trump.
As Vice President Biden said in Philadelphia, Donald Trump embraces dictators and tyrants like Putin and Kim Jong Un while alienating our closest allies. That is antithetical to who we are and it has to change, Andrew Bates, the Biden presidential campaigns director of rapid response, told The Hill in a statement.
Trump has also been repeatedly tricked into making major concessions to the murderous regime in Pyongyang while getting nothing in return. Given Vice President Biden's record of standing up for American values and interests, its no surprise that North Korea would prefer that Donald Trump remain in the White House, he added.
The comment came after North Koreas KCNA news agency published a commentary piece excoriating the former vice president.

(145,303 posts)12. Joe Biden camp reacts to North Korea calling him a 'fool': 'No surprise' regime favors Trump
Of course, North Korea prefers trump. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/may/22/joe-biden-camp-reacts-to-north-korea-calling-him-a/
Joseph R. Bidens 2020 presidential campaign responded to North Koreas criticism Wednesday, saying its no surprise that the regime would prefer President Trump over the former vice president.
Pyongyangs official Korean Central News Agency published a commentary piece earlier Wednesday blasting Mr. Biden as a fool of low IQ and an imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being after the former vice president called Kim Jong-un a thug during a recent campaign speech.
Andrew Bates, Mr. Bidens campaign spokesman, said North Korea favors President Trump because hes a pushover to the murderous regime.
As Vice President Biden said in Philadelphia, Donald Trump embraces dictators and tyrants like Putin and Kim Jong-un while alienating our closest allies. That is antithetical to who we are and it has to change, Mr. Bates told ABC News in a statement.
