(CNN) North Korean state media has launched a stinging attack on the former United States vice president and current presidential candidate, Joe Biden, mocking him as a "fool of low IQ." The comments, published Wednesday, appear to closely mirror remarks made by US President Donald Trump and his supporters against the former vice president. In March, Trump called Biden "another low IQ individual," while his attorney Rudy Giuliani described him as a "mentally deficient idiot." North Korea's criticism of Biden comes in response to comments made by the former vice president in which he referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "dictator" and a "tyrant" during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Saturday. North Korean state media, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), accused Biden of "slandering rhetoric," and described him as "reckless and senseless, seized by ambition for power."
