People Power Party lawmaker Lee Jin-sook is sued for insulting representative Kim Min-seok by saying 'female Hitler'

Plaintiff status... “Hitler was an ethnic cleanser who massacred Jews.”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Cho Hyun-young = People Power Party lawmaker Lee Jin-sook, who accused Kim Min-seok of the Democratic Party of Korea, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, of insulting her by referring to her as a "female Hitler," appeared at the police station on the 6th.

Seoul Yeongdeungpo Police Station summoned Rep. Lee on this day and conducted the first complaint investigation.

Rep. Lee met with reporters as he entered the investigation room and raised his voice, saying, "Hitler was a racial cleanser who massacred 6 million Jews." He added, "Are (Representative Kim) comparing me to Hitler and threatening to ban me from setting foot in the Republic of Korea?"

Representative Kim mentioned Rep. Lee at the Democratic Party's Jeonnam-Gwangju joint speech on the 15th of last month and said, "We will not allow even a female Chun Doo-hwan or a female Hitler to set foot in the Republic of Korea."

Rep. Lee's argument is that this is a personal attack that goes beyond the scope of political criticism.

Rep. Lee said, “I strongly urge Representative Kim to be investigated as a defendant as soon as possible.”

Representative Kim Min-seok also said to Rep. Lee on the 26th of last month, "I thought it would be a good idea to unify and call them 'female Chun Doo-hwan'."

Rep. Lee also said he plans to file an additional complaint on the same day regarding the remark, and claimed, "If you are a representative of the ruling party, you must purify your language."
