Fred Warmbier, the father of Otto Warmbier, reportedly will travel to South Korea to attend the Winter Olympic Games as a guest of Vice President Mike Pence.

Warmbier, according to a report by The Washington Post Sunday, will make the trip to Pyeongchang this week to attend the Opening Ceremony — the official kickoff to the two-week long Games, scheduled for Feb. 9.

Fred’s son, Otto, was 22 years old when he died in June following 15 months of imprisonment in North Korea.

Fred and his wife, Cindy, have said their son — a University of Virginia student who was arrested in North Korea in 2016 while studying abroad — was tortured while detained, as he came home blind and deaf, and with mangled teeth.

The parents denied an autopsy then immediately started pointing fingers at what happened to Otto. Why no autopsy? Our coroner was all set to go. She was shocked as Hell.

I don’t trust the parents as far as I could throw them.

I denied an autopsy when my father died as the result of a botched surgery on an aortic aneurysm. In the heat of the moment I decided that his body had been violated enough.

IIRC, Obama told the parents to keep quiet. He called it ‘strategic patience’. And then Obama did NOTHING to get Otto back. Completely unlike Obama ‘moving heaven and earth’ to get Bergdahl back. But then the Bergdahls were ‘fellow travellers’. In Islam.

Well, the cause of your father’s death, may he RIP, was not in question.
