Henry Kissinger a 'murderous scumbag' is making the rounds on X

Anthony Bourdain’s scathing words on Henry Kissinger resurface after his death !

The late famous chef Anthony Bourdain was known for being straightforward and not holding back, especially when it came to writing about former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

"In his 2001 book, 'A Cook's Tour,' Bourdain wrote, 'Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.'"

The book tells the story of Bourdain's travels around the world, exploring different cultures and foods. In the Cambodia chapter, Bourdain not only shared the local foods he tried but also talked about the country's sad history.

In that chapter, Bourdain called Kissinger a "treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag" and even compared him to Slobodan Milošević, the former Serbian leader who faced charges for crimes against humanity.
