Using a metaphor to take a dig at Biden, the Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said that a crow can never become white in color even after constant washing.
The news agency further added that anyone who defames the dignity of the leadership of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea can never escape the punishment. “Anyone who dare slanders the dignity of the supreme leadership of the D.P.R.K, can never spare the D.P.R.K’s merciless punishment whoever and wherever,” said the North Korean statement. They referred to Joe Biden's comment against Kim.
According to reports, Joe Biden was further berated as he was called a dog who was capable of causing harm to other people if they are roaming free and added that he "must be beaten to death with a stick, before it is too late" and in "doing so will be beneficial for the US also".
This is not the first time Joe Biden was berated by the North. In an incident dating back to the month of May, Biden was called a fool who had low IQ for calling Kim Jong Un a dictator.
Biden criticises Trump's policy on North Korea
