Weighing in on the controversy, Moskowitz responded in a post on X: "Why am I getting the feeling that she wanted to eat dog with Kim Jong Un."
Moskowitz deleted the post after some backlash.

Politico reporter Nicholas Wu wrote that Moskowitz’s tweet used a stereotype about Asians and dogs.
In response, Moskowitz wrote that he had "tremendous respect for Nick as a fantastic journalist."
"I made a joke about 2 specific people. No one else," Moskowitz wrote. "However, I would never want to be insensitive and feed into a stereotype. He called me out, deserved."
Moskowitz deleted another post on X in March involving an edited photo of President Biden.
It featured side-by-side pictures of actress Sydney Sweeney wearing a revealing outfit on her recent Saturday Live Appearance and the president, looking shocked as he arrived to give his State of the Union address.
The original photo depicted Biden’s reaction to seeing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., at the address.
