Kerry in the News
Seems erstwhile medal-pitching, former Presidential candidate and Save the Planet czar John Kerry has been sparring with the Congress Thursday in his usual open, aboveboard, transparent manner.
“I just don’t agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet,” Kerry said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. “We don’t own a private jet. I don’t own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet.”
Sounds a bit butt-hurt to me, but maybe I am assuming.
Kerry has been widely criticized for advocating for drastic climate change rules while also traveling to events on a private jet that was owned by Flying Squirrel LLC, a charter company owned by Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry, and in which Kerry reported owning a more than $1 million stake on a financial disclosure.
Hmm – a million dollar stake in the company which owns the jet but “we don’t own a private jet.” What’s the penalty for perjury in Congress?
Fox News Digital exclusively reported last year that the Kerry family jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, made a total of 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and emitted an estimated 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon since President Biden was sworn into office.
325 metric tons…wow. For someone who says “I don’t own” one, that’s a whole boatload of carbon guilt. But it’s OK, he says – he buys offsets (in other words, spends cash to reap the benefits of what other folks actually, y’know, do.) This is the fella supporting all the radical climate change narrative, right?
But at least he’s transparent about his staff, right? Talks out of both sides of his mouth on the jet question, but has a clear, concise, staffing plan.
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry refused to identify members of his climate team by name after being asked by GOP Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla.
“Who is your deputy envoy for climate?” Mast asked Kerry while pointing to an organizational chart of Kerry’s office that was mostly filled with blank spaces.
“I have two deputies and they are well known, they’re very experienced people, Rick Duke and Sue Biniaz… but I’m not going to go through all that,” Kerry told Mast. “I’m not going to fill them in here in this way, because that would be a violation of our process within the State Department.”
“Your not going to tell us who works in your office?” Mast asked.
Mast asked Kerry who the principal deputy and chief of staff were in his office and he again declined to say.
“I am going to go through the normal process,” Kerry said.
Mast said during the exchange that a FOIA request was submitted in 2021 to get answers about the structure of Kerry’s department and said he was told it would not be answered until 2024.
What’s that work out to, about a year and a half per name? To release the names of people who are essentially supposed to be public service employees. Ah the fantasy…
“Here’s your cell, Mr. Kerry. You can contemplate the concrete until you decide to start telling the truth. We’ll be back to check on you.”
“When?”
“Soon.”
“How soon?”
“Very soon.”

Private jet? We ain’t got no private jet. We don’t need no private jet. I don’t have to show you any steenken private jet!
The United States most disgusting president!
And everybody says kamala speaks in word salad sentences.
And the Democrats repeatedly vow that as soon as he leaves the White House (cannot punish a sitting President) he will be punished for his disgusting and illegal behavior. Honest!
I want to own a private jet… the members of the commissariat must be allowed to travel in comfort at the expense of the filthy working class!
I’m 100% in agreement with owning a privates jet…
““Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time.” – Gordon Gekko
That would be sooooo sweet.
Cut the guy some slack. He is still traumatized by Richard Nixon sending him into Cambodia Christmas Eve 1968, despite Nixon not taking office until 26 days later. John Kerry anticipated the command.
“Gulfstream GIV-SP”
How does he fit that giant mug in such a small aircraft?
Not much room left for his tremendous ego.
Doesn’t want to name the folks running a taxpayer funded operation? Time to chop the budget for the organization to zero then.
PS, owning the jet is not the critical thing. Using a PRIVATE jet like a personal taxi IS the issue when telling others they should not drive their car to take care of life’s obligations. He likely used more fuel in those trips (60 hours) than I would use in a decade.
Agreed.. they asked the wrong question, and he gave a legally correct weasel answer.. LEGALLY he does NOT own the jet, the company does, and no matter how large a stake he owns in the company, as long as it’s not a controlling interest, he is telling the truth.. from a legal standpoint.. not that he’d ever be convicted of lying under oath anyway with the magic (D) after his name…
But yeah, he’s a complete POS, just like the rest of this anti-American regime…
“…they asked the wrong question”
That seems to be a common occurrence among the many law-school trained Congress critters of both parties. You would almost think they don’t know what the hell they are doing.
Applauded by fellow left/libtards again.
The guy in the lower left of photo looks like he wants to rip Kerry’s head off and crap into one of his lungs.
His obituary is long, long overdue, he’s probably waiting for Jane Fonda to show him the way, she is such an inspiration to his existence.
Hard to say who is more subversive, George Soros or John Fonda-Kerry. They are both too willing to subjugate America to nearly anything or anyone.
When Biden’s era ends and a real American is restored to the White House John Fonda-Kerry will have no where left to go other than the U.N., maybe the W.H.O. or the CDC. Well, Ok, maybe he can become general counsel to the SPLC, he’s their kind of guy.
Be prepared. Drink more beer!
Yeah, his wife definitely went low for her second marriage.. first hubby was a decent dude that died too early..
The U.N, the W.H.O. and the CDC all need to be divested from American money. And any headquarters they have on American soil siezed and returned to we the people.
No if, ands or buts as mom used to say.
Amen.
My dad’s hatred for John Kerry was second only to his hatred for Jane Fonda. Wouldn’t even allow Heinz ketchup in the house.
Yeah, I don’t allow Heinz in the house either. Also, stuff like Ore-Ida fries and tater tots, because they’re a Heinz brand.
When I volunteered for Swift boat duty in Viet-Nam but turned it down after Gunners Mate First Class Smitty put his hand on my shoulder and said that this isn’t for you kid. Request was handed to Smitty a Vet of Korea after the word got around that I was transferred 2 times to different divisions because I was a screwup which I mentioned in past comments, so to make a short story long, I wonder if I would have happened to go on the Swift boats, would I have bumped into kerry.????
Nah. He was back behind the safe zones.
He wasn’t there for long, maybe 100 days.
Maybe smitty was doing you a favor? Any idea how smitty fared?
“would I have bumped into kerry.????”
If you had, he would have claimed that collision as cause for a fourth Purple Heart.
Maybe the “I don’t own a private jet” is a play on semantics. Maybe they are leasing it, versus owning it.
That’s political double speak for ya, gotta think like a politician to decode their Bull Shit!
Rules for thee, but not for me.
PHUQUE HEEM!
Another obit I hope I live long enough to read.
Cocksucker
I personally don’t have a private jet. Hmm, maybe your wife does, since she is a heinz.
Can we play a little game I like to call ‘Redcoats versus Americans’?
It’s not he that’ll suffer the High Hand of regulation and taxation, it is We the People.
(of course I’m a fucking hypocrite in relation to this clown, I own KHC outright and I like dividend. Brothers! Forgive me! I NEVER know what I do!)
“What’s the penalty for perjury in Congress?”
They send him a strongly worded e-mail.
