Otto Frederick Warmbier (born December 12, 1994) is an American college student who was arrested by the North Korean government on January 2, 2016. #warmbier
Otto should have never been arrested in the first place & Kim is responsible for that decision & everything that subsequently happened. #Trump shows his disdain for human rights & democracy every time he takes the word of a dictator over the people hurt by the dictator's actions!
Trump on Kim Jong Un and the murder of Otto Warmbier: "I don't believe that he would have allowed that to happen...He felt badly about it." This sounds uncannily like Stalin's defenders in the 1930's. Trump is the last Stalinist apologist.
On the @SenateFloor this afternoon I honored the life of #Ohioan Otto Warmbier & urged everyone not to forget the brutal nature of #NorthKorea’s regime. We can’t be naïve about what they did to Otto & what their gov’t continues to do to their own people.
Trump says he believes Kim Jong Un was not responsible for what happened to Otto Warmbier.
"Those prisons are rough...He tells me that he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.”
Echoes of Trump previously taking Vladimir Putin at his word.
Sen. Mitt Romney responds to President Trump's Otto Warmbier comments: "I think it's always best to listen first and foremost to our intelligence community."

You don't get points for "effort" when the "effort" involves pretending Otto Warmbier wasn't murdered, and that the US has a "special relationship" with the worst dictator on the planet -- and when that "effort" results in less than nothing.
Americans know the cruelty that was placed on Otto Warmbier by the North Korean regime. Our hearts are with the Warmbier family for their strength and courage. We will never forget Otto. ❤️🇺🇸
