Anti-war activists from CODEPINK and feminist leaders told lawmakers and Capitol Hill staffers that they “opened a new door” to peace during a May trip across the demilitarized zone in Korea, and called for unity in the region.
Grace Jo, a human rights activist and North Korea defector, was in the crowd on Tuesday evening, attentive and silently disagreeing. Her family fled from the communist regime to China in 1998, and she lost half of them to starvation, human trafficking, and torture during the trek.
“They’re working in favor of the North Korean regime,” Jo said in an interview with the Free Beacon, referring to the activists.“It is not for the people of North Korea. I don’t really agree with their opinion.”
WomenCrossDMZ, the organizer of the march, held a briefing on Tuesday evening in which they urged congressional leaders to lift sanctions against dictator Kim-Jung Un. The group said that its proposals would generate peace between North and South Korea but did not address the countless abuses of human rights in the reclusive dictatorship.
“Their main purpose sounds very good, but if we look deeply, they don’t really care about the refugees,” Jo said. “They are not trying to hear the refugees stories.”
At the end of May, 30 women from CODEPINK and other groups traveled to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, for a “peace symposium.” They heard from women who lived through the Korean war, and in a symbolic gesture sewed together two quilts that each group crafted for the event, and sang a reunification song. After a sightseeing tour of the region arranged in part with help from the regime, and meetings with other activists, they crossed the two-mile long demilitarized zone to South Korea. They then held another women’s symposium in Seoul, South Korea, to conclude their trip.

I guess you got stupid and then you got code pink stupid.
Send in reinforcements. Is Pussy Riot out of Putin’s jails?
Pussy riot could have a public orgy with Lil’ Kim.
CodePink is composed of a bunch of robots that are on George Soros’s payroll to do his bidding. Whatever he programs them to do they do.
Why are these idiots called “Anti-War Activists” anyway.
They are not.
