Trump and Biden Campaign Trade Jabs Over North Korea’s Remarks – The New York Times

Earlier in the day, Kate Bedingfield, a deputy campaign manager for Mr. Biden, issued a statement calling Mr. Trump’s remarks “beneath the dignity of the office.”

“To be on foreign soil, on Memorial Day, and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow American and former vice president speaks for itself,” Ms. Bedingfield said.

After her statement was released, Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter that he was “actually sticking up” for Mr. Biden by calling him “a low I.Q. individual,” reiterating the insult while suggesting that his phrasing was softer than Mr. Kim’s.

Another 2020 Democrat, Senator Kamala Harris of California, sharply criticized Mr. Trump for attacking “the previous vice president of the United States” while in another country.

“It is wrong, it is contrary to our values, and it is contrary to the best interests of our country,” Ms. Harris said during a town hall forum on MSNBC Tuesday night. “He should not have done it, he is irresponsible,” she added, calling his remarks one of many “examples of why he should not be president of the United States.”
