A Florida congressman apologized Monday for invoking an insensitive stereotype in a joke aimed at Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
“Why am I getting the feeling that she wanted to eat dog with Kim Jong Un?” Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz wrote on X in response to a clip of Noem promoting her upcoming book on “CBS Mornings.”
Noem’s book includes a false claim about a meeting with the North Korean leader and a true anecdote about her killing her “untrainable” 14-month-old hunting dog. Moskowitz was called out by Politico reporter Nicholas Wu, who noted the Florida Democrat was “using a stereotype here about Asians and dogs.”

When I was in Korea in the 80s, they sold dog meat on the streets. Fresh. So who has a beef - or should I say, puppy?
And have comrade Moskowitz take Bernie Sanders and AOC with him.
Sort of makes we wonder just what Mitt Romney meant when he said that “hot dog meat” was his favorite meat ...
As usual, all they care about is offending X non-white-male-Christian-American group.
Not impugning or libeling an actual white conservative American Christian person.
Hey, maybe Obama will join them.
Huh?
Can’t say that stuff in the public realm when you’re a politician. Otherwise, you have to issue a feigned apology to a falsely outraged media and other falsely outraged politicians. But there are few that have never joked about Koreans and dogs and Chinese and cat cuisine. Every ethnic group gets a little jocular bashing from time to time. Deal with it!
I was booted from that Nextdoor social media app because in response to people saying that they were finding mutilated cats in their neighborhood I posted this question:
“Have any recent immigrant Asian families moved into the neighborhood?”
No sense of humor.
“No sense of humor.”
No, just an ignorant thing to say.
You’re forgiven.
You’re wrong.
Asians regularly eat dog and cat, in Asia and here. Along with pangolins, bats, salamanders, skunk, snakes and other exotics.
Because he shouldn’t have to resign over this.
Democrats say what they mean and then when there is blowback they backpedal.
You’d think one of these days, they’d learn to think before opening their mouth.
It is an ignorant thing to say. Asians don’t let anything go to waste so there wouldn’t be any mutilated cats to find.
My guess would be they have eaten most of the dogs there already. And the one that haven’t been eaten keep themselves hidden pretty well.
The Congressman is.
Birds of prey will go after pets.
And here I was convinced all Dimocrats lacked a sense of humor....
Did the congressman apologize to Kristie or Kim?
A Democrat apologizing for being stupid - isn’t that redundant
That’s exactly my point. Republicans are cowards
