No they would not riot over that and whoever wrote it is over dramatic.
I have to agree with you there, William. I don't think just the simple fact that the deep state/CIA "running" North Korea would cause Americans to riot. Us normals aren't really the rioting kind.
But if somehow this is proven. There would have to be a whole lotta more ugliness attached to it. And surely that would piss lots of people right off.
We do put up with a lot of corruption, but there has to be a breaking point.
Right? So rioting. A little overstatement, but his heart is in the right place. Sue him.
