Ahn Cheol-soo: "Lee Jun-seok's Devilish Tear Show to Find an Excuse for Leaving the Party"

Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party who is pushing for the expulsion of former leader Lee Jun-seok, criticized Lee, who shed tears at a press conference that day, calling it a "devil's tear show."

On the 16th, Ahn said on his social media (SNS), "After my press conference, Lee Jun-seok held consecutive press conferences and put on a tear show. It seems he thought he could not avoid the flames of the nationwide Lee Jun-seok expulsion movement that heated up over the weekend night," he said.

Ahn is pushing for Lee's expulsion. At a National Assembly press conference that day, he said, "I will request the party's Ethics Committee to discipline Lee Jun-seok with expulsion, together with the 16,036 citizens who voluntarily participated in the signature campaign to remove him."

He said, "To avoid the flames of expulsion, he directly attacked the president and the party and put on a devil's tear show, but setting aside the acting, no sincerity was shown. It is obvious that he is scheming to build a pretext for leaving the party if he is expelled after showing the tear show."

Ahn said, "However, it is too late to appeal to the party's sentiment with a tear show. Listening to his acted devil's tear show and sophistry once again makes me think that Lee Jun-seok must be expelled for the party to survive. I ask the Ethics Committee to carefully consider this point. I emphasize once again that only expansion politics that removes bad people and brings in good people can give hope in next year's general election."
