'Not everything in life is a conspiracy': Andy Kim rejects claim he wore North Korean flag

Congressman Andy Kim, D-N.J., slammed Trump delegate Mike Crispi who accused him of wearing the North Korean flag during Tuesday night’s New Jersey Senate debate.

Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., slammed a Trump delegate for accusing him of wearing the North Korean flag on his tie during a New Jersey Senate debate this week. 

“Why is US Senate candidate Andy Kim wearing a North Korea flag on his tie tonight?” the delegate, Mike Crispi, wrote on X about Kim’s matchup Tuesday against Republican opponent Curtis Bashaw. “What is he trying to tell us — Where do his allegiances lie?” 

Kim, an Asian American, told NBC News in an email through a spokesperson that he wore the tie, which had red, white and blue stripes on it, simply because it matched his blue suit. 

“Not everything in life is a conspiracy,” Kim told NBC News about the comments from Crispi, a Republican.  

The flag of North Korea features a red star within a white circle set against a wide red stripe, bordered by thinner white and blue stripes.
