Unimaginable barbarism happens in the North Korean gulags. Oftentimes, the prisoners are tortured to death.

Pregnant women are shown no mercy. They are sometimes tied up, with babies being cut from the mother’s body. pic.twitter.com/cZm9r2j2zL

Children are tortured as well. Certainly starved to death, but sometimes bayoneted. It is not uncommon for children to have to dig their own graves. pic.twitter.com/Bioskvtxmo

Life in these gulags is my idea of what hell might be like. Systematic torture, starvation, and death. pic.twitter.com/D3B5UCQCGi

Finally, McKelvey blasted CNN’s praise of the Kim family and North Korea has “completely inexcusable:”
Those in the American media who are doting on the sister of Kim Jong Un, and those talking about what a “surprisingly refreshing” country North Korea is, should be ASHAMED of themselves. It’s completely inexcusable. pic.twitter.com/U4rp7iZaDX

Thus far, CNN has yet to issue a public apology. This is also not the network’s first time facing widespread criticism. CNN has infamously found themselves in several feuds with President Trump. The network’s praise of Kim Yo Jong has only furthermore served as fuel for the dubbed “Communist News Network” term used by many conservatives who dislike CNN.
