Ben Cardin actually said...

"I do not know that there is another country in the world that is worse to its people than North Korea."

"North Korea is critically important to our policies in Asia and our global policy."

"A denuclearized Korean Peninsula is absolutely essential, and we must do everything we can to make that a reality."

"I think we need to remind China that China's constant defense of North Korean misbehavior will hurt China's own interests."
