North Korea is safer than the White House. Yes indeed, that is exactly what CBS “journalist” Ben Tracy believes.
I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at The White House. This is just crazy.

This is right as it became known that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany had tested positive for Covid.
“The sidelining of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany due to a positive coronavirus test on Monday will eliminate one of President Trump’s most potent allies in the final weeks of his uphill reelection battle.
Since she joined the White House in April, McEnany’s press briefings have become electric, combative affairs that have resonated not just on live television but for days afterward as memes on social media. McEnany’s closing briefing comments — typically scripted — in which she denounces the press for some alleged bias or shortcoming have made her a heroine within conservative media and among Trump supporters, despite their uncertain or questionable veracity.”
According to the Washington Post, this has given every WH journalist just the opening they needed to snidely point out how lax the White House has been about masks and other covid protocols. Hence Ben Tracy’s tweet.
Jennifer “never been a conservative” Rubin is in full lecture mode and has taken it upon herself to declare Walter Reed a public health hazard.
Back to Ben Tracy’s tweet. First of all, he needs to grow a pair. Secondly, to state that North Korea is SAFER than the White House right now is asinine on multiple levels.
Ji Seong Ho’s story is illustrative of the horror called North Korea.
“”One day, he tried to steal coal from a railroad car to barter for a few scraps of food,” Mr. Trump said. “In the process, he passed out on the train tracks, exhausted from hunger. He woke up as a train ran over his limbs. He then endured multiple amputations without anything to dull the pain.”
“Later, he was tortured by North Korean authorities after returning from a brief visit to China. His tormentors wanted to know if he had met any Christians. He had – and he resolved after that to be free.””
Otto Warmbier is sadly unable to educate Ben Tracy on what North Korea is really like as he was killed there.
You know, the media has steadily become more and more unhinged since President Trump won the election in 2016. But just when you think they can’t go any further down the rabbit hole of crazy, they manage to dig deeper. I thought their reactions to President Trump and Melania’s diagnosis was bad enough. It got worse when the President went for a drive, but for Ben Tracy to decide that North Korea is the safest place in the world right now??!!
Women are raped in N. Korea’s death camps, their babies aborted by guards jumping on their stomachs or hot irons shoved into their vaginas.

The babies are then fed to dogs while the mom’s watch.
So, to be clear, life as a DC reporter is not comparable to life in North Korea. https://t.co/jBZnSKFEYd
Yes the White House is just like North Korea, other than the beatings, starvation, lack of electricity, organ harvesting, punishment of your parents, your children, your extended family on the basis of your network's reporting. You are a clown. https://t.co/qzKphhPYeU

Well, the clown had to respond to the ratio he’d been getting.
For context folks, this is in reference to the COVID-19 outbreak at The White House.

Golly gee. Thank you ever so much for explaining what was perfectly obvious to the rest of us.
Let me give you some context Ben. North Korea is a dangerous place period. The fact that you, a journalist, engaged in this kind of hyperbole in an attempt to dunk on members of the Trump Administration testing positive for this virus shows how childish you are.

Cameron says: The context doesn’t make you look any better, sparky.
Robin H says: And I would add that it is safer thanks to Trump getting Rocket Man to stop exploding bombs.
Theo Moore says: Of course it is safer in North Korea. Our White house reporters are on the same team as North Korea. They still think they will be able to escape the wall once 1) Joe wins and is unable to take office. 2) Kamala becomes the first Black woman president and 3) Kamala is assassinated by a crazed right winger so Hillary can take office. 4) Hillary does not need them anymore and all of the reporters find themselves with a date for a wall.
WILLIAM FRANCIS says: If so why don’t they move there?
Ron Norman says: What General Sherman said about ‘news reporter’s’ during the Civil War is true.
Bandit says: He should go back to PRNK and stay there
rbj1 says: Even in the Wuhan virus context, NK soldiers have a shoot to kill order if you are within 2 KM of the border.
