Whoopi Goldberg: Mike Pence didn’t show North Korea enough ‘respect’ at Olympics

Just for the record, Pence gave all the respect NOKO deserved. Idiot

--------

Whoopi Goldberg says U.S. Vice President Mike Pence should have shown more “respect” to North Koreans at the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

“He should have given enough—had enough respect to say, ‘You know what? Maybe they aren’t doing a good thing for themselves, so maybe we can sit down with them at some point,'” Ms. Goldberg said Monday on ABC’s “The View.”

She said the Olympics are “supposed to be the one place where politics doesn’t play a part.”

(and so the Whooper wants to talk politics anyway, WTH..........)

At Friday’s opening ceremony, Mr. Pence and his wife, Karen, sat in a box with other heads of state, including a delegation from North Korea led by Kim Jong-un’s younger sister, Kim Yo-jung.

The vice president conspicuously remained sitting when the unified Korean team, comprised of athletes from both the North and South, walked into the arena.

The thing is she doesn't know how to act...

North Korean Speed Skater Tries to Take Down His Japanese Rival After Spectacular Fall

He came, he saw, he fell—twice. But what made North Korean athlete Jong Kwang Bom’s abysmal performance at the men’s short track speed skating 500m heat particularly memorable was his attempt to take down his Japanese rival by grabbing his blade.

The seventh and last of Tuesday's heats featured athletes from South Korea, Japan, the U.S. and North Korea—oddly representative of the four main players involved in the current geopolitical tensions on the Korean Peninsula. 

Jong, who at 16 was the youngest skater in the heat, fell flat on his chest within a few seconds of the start of the race. While lying on the ice, he extended his arm and grabbed the Japanese speed skater Keita Watanabe’s blade, in what was either a willful attempt to trip the athlete or to force a restart.

Watanabe managed to shake off Jong’s grip and kept skating, but the race was halted and restarted as the North Korean cheerleaders, spotting the camera on them, began their carefully coordinated cheers. Jong again bumped into Watanabe a few times before falling again and tripping American speed skater Thomas Insuk Hong.

Jong was then disqualified, and the race continued, with Watanabe and South Korean athlete Daeheon Hwang winning second and first place respectively and qualifying for the quarter-finals.
