I told myself I wouldn’t write about Kim Yo Jong today, but that’s clearly not going to happen. This is simply too tough to ignore. It was bad enough that liberals on Twitter praised her for giving Pence a dirty side-eye. CNN tried to top them by talking about how the dictator’s sister totally “stole the show.”
It’s still going. The Washington Post wants us all to know that Kim Yo Jong is totally rad. You might even call her the “Ivanka Trump of North Korea.” Look at this headline.
It gets worse. Read the opening paragraph of this piece.
They marveled at her barely-there makeup and her lack of bling. They commented on her plain black outfits and simple purse. They noted the flower-shaped clip that kept her hair back in a no-nonsense style.
It sounds like WaPo digs the “dictatorial chic” look. Next thing you know, they’ll be begging her to start a fashion line.
Here she was, a political princess, but the North Korean “first sister” had none of the hallmarks of power and wealth that Koreans south of the divide have come to expect. In looks-obsessed South Korea, many 20-something women list plastic surgery and brand-name bags as life goals.
She’s a “political princess,” you guys.
Most of all, Kim Yo Jong was an enigma. Just like them, but nothing like them. A woman with a sphinxlike smile who gave nothing away during her three-day Olympic-related visit to South Korea as brother Kim Jong Un’s special envoy.
Good grief, could they BE any more in love with this hag?
“I thought Kim Yo Jong was going to be so serious, but she smiled all the time, so she made a good first impression,” said Kwon Hee-sun, a 29-year-old South Korean woman attending the women’s ice hockey match at the Winter Olympics on Saturday night. The Korean teams had been combined — three North Koreans were playing during the game that night.
“I’m curious about her. I wonder if she’s married. I think it’ll be very meaningful if she comes to the game,” Kwon said. She soon got her wish: Kim Yo Jong showed up to cheer on the united Korean team.
I think I’m going to be sick. Especially because they’re actually treating this propaganda tool (she actually IS the head of a propaganda department in North Korea, FYI) better than they treat Ivanka.
I hate everything about this. It’s an outrageous comparison.

How many concentration camps does Ivanka visit in her spare time? Just curious.
Omg….you’re gross.

To compare a senior leader of a murderous dictatorship with ANY American is inappropriate and offensive @annafifield @washingtonpost

A regime that opresses, tortures, and murders people, but your gushing over them?

I don’t understand it at all.
Just like ivanka .. well there are small differences: starving population, .50 cal executions, death camps, forbidden freedoms .. but WAPO thinks they could be sisters 🙄

As someone who knows Ivanka Trump, your headline disgusts me. She is nothing like Ivanka Trump. Ivanka doesn’t oppress & starve human beings, defy @UN sanctions, nor engage in human rights violations & summary executions. Bet you think Eva Braun looked stunning at the 1936 games pic.twitter.com/ovoo4b5dOR
