The lefty spin on representatives from North Korea attending the Winter Olympics in South Korea has been dizzying (as well as monumentally delusional), and ThinkProgress had to add their two cents to the steaming pile of progressive hot takes:

Pence’s “sabotage”? It staggers the imagination while at the same time being totally NOT unexpected.

Think Progress is livid that @VP didn’t lie prostrate before North Korea’s murderous regime and ignore their terror with handshakes and dinners. https://t.co/0kkywN4XN2

Your “progressive” stance is actually regressive — longing for the oppressive dictatorships millions have fought and died to defeat. #thinkREgress #smh #shameful

"Sabotage"
The competition for the gold in stupidity over North Korea is pretty stiff. https://t.co/I6a3F71HqE
