To the Editor:
Re “Pence, in Tokyo, Threatens Tough Penalties for North Korea” (news article, Feb. 8):
I take great umbrage at Vice President Mike Pence’s statement concerning the Olympic Games: “We’ll be there to cheer our athletes, but we’ll also be there to stand with our allies, and remind the world that North Korea is the most tyrannical and oppressive regime on the planet.”
Does this man not know that the Olympic Games are not supposed to be political? That is their beauty. You don’t stand with allies at the Games.
