Rush Limbaugh compared Secretary of State John Kerry and former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who recently returned from a controversial trip to North Korea where he met with dictator Kim Jong Un.
“We’ve got the new secretary of state, Dennis Rodman, just back from North Korea talking to Kim Jong Un, who just wants Obama to call him. Man, what a foreign policy team. Joe Biden, John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) and Dennis Rodman (who played for the Pistons),” Limbaugh said on his radio program Monday, according to a show transcript.
Rodman recently returned from North Korea where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un while taping for the upcoming HBO program “VICE.” Speaking about his trip Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Rodman said that the dictator asked him to have President Barack Obama call him.
Limbaugh played testimony from April 22, 1971, when Kerry — a Vietnam War veteran — testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“They told the stories of times that they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power,” Kerry testified at the time. “Cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in the fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with a full awareness of officers at all levels of command.”
Limbaugh’s take — Kerry and Rodman made similar sentiments.
“There’s John Kerry basically saying, ‘Hey, we do the same thing the North Vietnamese do.’ […] He was spelling out the way American troops were behaving in Vietnam. [It’s] no different than Dennis Rodman coming back and saying, ‘Hey, you know, we have prison camps here. We murder people just like Kim Jong Un. It’s the same, just politics,’” Limbaugh said on his radio program.
