The former Green Party candidate who forced a 2016 election recount in Michigan is now justifying the pursuit of nuclear weapons by the most insane country in the world.

Jill Stein made a case for North Korea’s militarization attempts as a response to Western aggression, in a recent appearance on MSNBC. She diminished the state of oppression and tyranny in N. Korea as nothing more than Western demonization tactics and propaganda that would eventually lead to desired regime change.

“The demonization of North Korea is part of the run-up to regime change. We saw it in Iraq, we saw it in Libya; it’s part of demonizing a government that we then want to exercise regime change on,” Stein said. MSNBC host Alex Witt tried to push back against the crazy, noting that it’s North Korea that is provoking the world by launching intercontinental ballistic missiles. Stein refuted, making the incredible claim that North Korea Is pursuing nuclear weapons in response to U.S. aggression. “But remember where that came from. Long before they began their missile test, the U.S. was conducting nuclear bombing runs against North Korea. We actually had nuclear weapons until the end of the Cold War […] stationed in South Korea.”

Jill Stein is grasping at straws, trying to make the psychotic aggression of N. Korea seem like America’s fault. Stein’s conspiracy theories and blatant anti-American rhetoric begs the question: how someone with such disdain for the United States could have ever run for president. Stein’s defense of the least free country on earth says a lot about her values and shows her fanatical affinity for Marxism.

“So this is very frightening to them. They’ve been basically cornered into feeling like they have to develop a nuclear weapon,” said this woman who wants to be president of the United States.

It’s hard to tell who is crazier, Jill Stein or North Korea.
