'Who wants to tell her?': State Dept. spox Heather Nauert gets DRAGGED over North Korea tweet

Tough words today from State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert on North Korea, but there’s just one problem…

#DPRK will not obtain a nuclear capability. Whether through diplomacy or force is up to the regime @StateDept

…yeah. That’s pretty bad:

Of note: North Korea has already tested a nuclear device six times since 2006. https://t.co/kRHCGTdPHp

If the U.S. doesn't back up this red line the world will take notice. => https://t.co/ioxbbCaHTK

She also tweeted that diplomatic channels are open with the Norks, at least for now:

Diplomatic channels are open for #KimJongUn for now. They won't be open forever @StateDept @potus

This seems to be in response to these Trump tweets from this a.m.:

I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man…

…Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!

So, good cop/bad cop routine?
