record. i think i agree with him on that. >> that didn't go over too well with some members of the president's own party, though most lacked the courage to speak up. republican congressman peter king of new york did write, quote, wrong for trump to criticize joe biden in japan and agree with kim jong-un. politics stops at the water's edge. never right to side with murderous dictator versus fellow american. biden's campaign waited until trump was in the country to issue the statement president's comments are beneath the dignity of the office. to be on foreign soil on memorial day and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow american speaks for itself. it's part of a pattern of em bratsing autocrats at the expense of our institutions whether taking putin's word at face value in helsinki or exchanging love letters with kim jong-un. trump fired back with this. we quote again. i was actually sticking up for sleepy joe biden while on foreign soil.
