The NYTIMES (and the WaPo) are more accurately called the CIA/Deep State propaganda paper. Whatever the Deep State wants published they go straight to these two organs.

Defects to the American right? No, no, no she seeks protection with the American right as she sees the Democrats becoming more & more like the tyranny she had escaped from.

I didn’t read the NYT article but wonder who she thinks the Right is? I hope she’s not thinking its the Republican Party.

Since the criticisms of her and some other defectors that I’ve seen are very flimsy and obviously agenda-driven, what evidence backs that up?

“Here’s a non paywall link”

I think the REAL PROBLEM that the NY Times has with her is that she is simply HOT, while the Scags who run the NY Times cannot find a guy willing to sleep with them more than 2 nights in a row.

Why do you say she is a phony? She endured a dangerous journey to escape North Korea. What do you hold against her?

"What do you hold against her?"

I know what I'd like to hold against her, but I can't say that here. She MIGHT just be a NK HONEY TRAP THOUGH.. BEWARE.

Thanks for the link. I’ve seen her videos on her channel and her interview with Jordan Peterson, and this looks interesting too.
