Republican Sen. John McCain upset North Korea so much when he called the country’s supreme leader a “crazy fat kid” during an interview that the country threatened war.
In a March 22 interview, McCain said the “crazy fat kid that’s running North Korea” is worse than the worst dictators throughout history, according to the Daily Caller.
“He is not rational,” he added. “We’re not dealing even with someone like Joseph Stalin, who had a certain rationality to his barbarity.”
The state-run Korean Central News Agency blamed the Arizona senator for hurting the “dignity” of the North Korean leader.
It called McCain’s comments “a grave provocation little short of declaration of war.”
“What, did they want me to call him a crazy skinny kid?” McCain tweeted, responding to a story on the “provocation.”

McCain’s son, Jack, also found the story hilarious.
“HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ha,” he tweeted, linking to a story about North Korea threatening war over his father’s comments.
