The parents of Otto Warmbier issued a blistering statement on Friday saying Kim Jong Un and his government "are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity" after President Donald Trump asserted that the North Korean dictator was unaware of the harrowing treatment the student endured while detained there.

"We have been respectful during this summit process. Now we must speak out. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto," Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in a blistering statement. "Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that."

Warmbier's parents have a clear agenda here, and it involves respect for the memory of their son, what happened to him, who did it.

It must have been sickening for them to hear Trump profess his love for Kim..... and of course Trump supporters in full defense of Kim. But if they paid attention to how Trump and his supporters embrace and love Putin and the Saudi King then this shouldn't be a surprise.

They thought they were special, but Republicans love taking advantage of parents who have suffered a loss for political gain. We see that with them turning on Otto, and we see that in the fact they haven't mentioned Benghazi or Stevens since 11/07/2016. Using these families work, but it doesn't make it right for Republicans to use that playbook as much as they do.
