It is not surprising that a hard-line ass hole
Republican like Vice President Mike Pence
would avoid shaking hands with members of the North (Democratic People’s
Republic) Korean delegation at this year’s Winter Olympics. It is to be expected
that the up-runner to US Imperialism would be rude to those who live under his adversary.
Everyone who came from other countries acted civil, but Pence is an embarrassment
to those of us who believe in respecting international law. -SJ Otto
From Yahoo
News:
South Korean President Moon Jae-in held a
reception for international delegates ahead of Friday’s Winter Olympics Opening
Ceremony in PyeongChang.
Vice President Mike Pence, the leader of the
the U.S. delegation, was among 12 leaders invited to sit at the head table,
where he was expected to sit across from Kim Yong Nam, the President of the
Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly and representative from North Korea.
That did not happen. Pence made a brief
appearance and left early to meet with U.S. athletes prior to the Opening
ceremony, South Korean officials told Reuters.
He did not take a seat, but met and shook hands with other leaders,
including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, according to the report.
He left without interacting with Kim Yong
Nam, although Moon did shake hands with
Kim Yong Nam.
Pence did, however, sit near Kim Yong
Nam and Kim Jong Un’s sister Kim Yo Jong at the Opening Ceremony, thanks
to a seating
arrangement that was out of his control.
