Host Chuck ToddCharles (Chuck) David Todd'Saturday Night Live' ponders what it would take for Republicans to turn against Trump Chuck Todd presses Giuliani on whether Trump is 'truthful' Giuliani: 'Nothing wrong' with campaign taking information from Russians MORE pressed Sanders on what "message" Trump is sending by taking Kim's words about his potential 2020 challenger.
"The president doesn't need somebody else to give him an assessment of Joe Biden," Sanders responded. "He's given his own assessment a number of times."
Sanders's remarks come after North Korea’s KCNA news agency published a commentary piece excoriating Biden.
“He is self-praising himself as being the most popular presidential candidate. This is enough to make a cat laugh,” the agency wrote.
The news outlet went on to belittle Biden as a “fool of low IQ,” citing his college grades and disparaging him for falling asleep at a 2011 speech by former President Obama.
Biden's campaign responded, saying it was "no surprise" that North Korea "would prefer" Trump in the oval office.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted that he "smiled" when Kim referred to Biden as a "low IQ individual."
North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?
