Otto Warmer made it back to the US but he may never be the same. Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and Aida Rodriguez, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what happened to him. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“(CNN)Doctors caring for released North Korea detainee Otto Warmbier said he has not spoken or moved on his own since he arrived in the United States on Tuesday, a condition they described as "unresponsive wakefulness" or persistent vegetative state.
