Lee Gyumin: "Stop sowing discord between President Moon and Governor Lee Jae-myung"... Advice to Hong Joon-pyo View original image


[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Lee Gyu-min (Anseong) delivered a direct blow to lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo (Independent, Daegu Suseong-gu Eul), who said, "President Moon Jae-in will always think that Governor Lee Jae-myung will die if he becomes president," saying, "Stop sowing discord with such a pathetic exit strategy."


On the 23rd, through a post on Facebook, Rep. Lee said, "Lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo appeared on a broadcast on the 23rd and said, 'President Moon Jae-in probably can't sleep these days. He will always think that if Governor Lee Jae-myung of Gyeonggi Province becomes (president), I will die,'" and criticized, "It's one thing to spout his own brain fiction on the broadcast, but the diagnosis is so absurd that it makes me laugh."


He continued, "You say President Moon can't sleep because he is afraid of political retaliation. That is the psychology of people who have committed crimes, and it seems (Lawmaker Hong) has a lot of experience," adding, "President Moon is a person with the compassion of a Buddha who can revive a dying persimmon tree through dialogue."


He also said, "Having observed closely, I know better than Lawmaker Hong, but Governor Lee Jae-myung is not that kind of person," and evaluated, "He has excellent empathy, neglects himself, and makes excessive efforts for the happiness of the weary."


Furthermore, Rep. Lee said, "(Lawmaker Hong) seems to have decided that sowing discord between President Moon and Governor Lee is the only way to survive, but this is a pathetic exit strategy," and pointed out, "You can tell immediately by the thousands of related comments showing how unconvincing Hong's remarks are."


In addition, he advised, "Considering that even the People Power Party (the opposition) is distancing itself from Lawmaker Hong, it would be better for him to first look after his own situation and take action quickly."
