North Korea slammed Senator Ted Cruz in a scathing article, ranting about the Texas Republican's hard-line stance against engaging in diplomatic relations with longtime adversaries of the United States.

The commentary, published Thursday by the official Korean Central News Agency, did not specify exactly what remarks it was responding to, but referred to comments made "some time ago" and when he "dared to slander the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK," an acronym for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea's official name. The outlet added that the legislator's "mud-slinging is a politically-motivated provocation to the DPRK as it represented the perspective of the conservative lawmakers on the DPRK, not just his own personal view."

Blasting the Senate Foreign Relations Committee member's views on Cuba, Iran and refugees as well, the outlet proclaimed: "No wonder, heavyweight lawmakers from the Republican Party contended if he becomes a presidential candidate from the Republican Party, it will be a big disaster.

"He, therefore, has become notorious not only in the U.S. but even in the Republican Party as 'an ultra-rightist detested by everyone,' 'a liar' and 'a demon in human shape,'" the news agency added. "His behavior is sure to make everyone take him as a remnant of Nazis with extreme misanthropy or a hysteric psychopath bereft of reason. We will never pardon whoever provokes the dignity of the supreme leadership of our country but will make those pay dearly for what they have done by all means."

John Boehner called Ted "Lucifer in the Flesh."

And comments made 'some time ago'?

Are we sure Trump didn't make this story up?
