Kerry is the very definition of a grifter.
I think you are confusing him with Traitor Trump!
100%
He is. Kerry said he doesn’t own a private jet and they don’t own a private jet after admitting to the same committee that the wife owned a private jet which was recently sold after their hypocrisy was exposed. How many times did he and family fly on the private jet? For each time any member of his family flew on the private jet it left its carbon imprint which would be matched by a NYC pizza wood oven operating for more than 800 years.
Definitely a tyrant. Pompous a**hole. He feels he is so much better than us I don't even know why he is still living on this Earth and is not living on a different planet of his own . He just allows us to breath the same ere he does😅
Is kerry acting dumb or does it come totally natural to him, this man has been far to long in Washington and his record of bad decisions for America tells us he is in this for himself and his own interests, how much money does he accrue through this diabolical policies. I bet your plan is working with solar panels as you Mr kerry and the grifters in your party will get richer off them,
As a Vietnam veteran I have been sick of this guy for the last 50 years.
So you claim to have been born before 1958 but you have the screen name of a teenager? Sure.
@@williambrandondavis6897 cry it out little princess
@@williambrandondavis6897that's an ooooooooold joke
He has always been a 🐍stolen valor
Damn you're old.
How can Kerry lie so blatantly, and not be arrested or punished in some way
Old New England money/private school/Yalie/Skull and Bones/CIA connections/Billionaire wife..... that covers most of it.
@@anderander5662And he's a Democrat.

Biden would just pardon him...
@@davidpetty2315 Or put the problem into permanent limbo by having the DOJ investigate for the next 40 years, so that it will always be "under investigation".
John Kerry is trying to gaslight the entire room LMAO!!!!
“I’ve never personally owned a private jet” yet his fucking wife owned a private jet!! The audacity to sit up there and obfuscate that is just absurd.
He’s definitely a #grifter
And, he said he's never flown in a private jet...yeah right
The stupidity of even discussing whether Kerry owns a private jet is striking. It's trash talk from the GOP to obfuscate from the facts they fail to understand or address, the crisis of climate change.
"The audacity" what are you new tires politics or just seriously stupid? 🙄
If your wife owns it you own it too. Communal property
Oh how effortlessly the lies flow off of Mr. Kerry's lips. Quite the seasoned politician he is!
It is amazing that you call yourself looking up for Jesus and you support liars and grifters. Not very good look for a true Christian is it?
@lagmanson Ok Mr Abortion
@@lagmanson What about my comment leads you to believe I support people like Kerry? It was more tongue in cheek than anything.
@@jts9120 Oh my, I guess seeing sarcasm for what it is has become a lost art. Oh well.
That has been his life's work!
Kerry is on video saying he has to fly private to get some where in a moments notice. Because he's so important.
I've heard him say that too. Chartered planes/private planes, it doesn't matter WHO OWNS THEM when he's the only damn passenger!
That's what they all say...even the Republicans questioning him. It's the idiots watching that don't get this is all political theater 🙄 😂
I like how he gets butthurt at the end because of the private jet jab.
Once again nothing will happen and nobody will be held accountable. An endless cycle.
It's sickening, really.
Give them games! -Rome-
Bingo. The untelevised hearings apparently are much less confrontational. These recorded ones are kabuki for the masses.
Thanks for the mother fucking back up all you had to do was stand up and support the truth we were damn near there and you all let me get beat to fuck and was more interested in laughing in our faces and being shitty judgemental and heinous
He is being questioned in a place that all can see, only because republicans hold the house. Voting works. If you vote republicans to the house, why not vote them to the senate too. And to the presidency. A nation divided will fall.
John Kerry might nor own a private jet but Heinz LLC or John Kerry LLC most certainly does. We see it fly into Sun Valley, Idaho on the regular.
You are absolutely right on the mark!
The point was he flew in a private jet - she should have flown commercially if he’s so concerned about the environment. One less plane in the sky
Look at his tan around his eyes he was just somewhere asshole
Chartering a jet IS considered commercial aviation. So he is telling the truth, just a truth people don't understand.
The US government does not fund those charters...who is paying the cost???
@@gc6888 actually he flew commercial. The jet in question, owned by flying squirrel the company his wife owns, was sold.
I really don’t care how anyone travels, but in the same testimony Kerry states he, we or his family never owned a private jet. Then when pushed he stated his wife owned one. DC at its finest.
The one question I never hear anyone ask john kerry is, "how many solar panels do you have on your many houses?". Anyone want to guess the number? If you said a total of zero then you were correct.
This is why the US keeps declining on the global stage, these politicians are a disgrace.
And on the take.
What? You want US to dominate other countries? As other countries rise and catch up, US influence will diminish. That is commonsense.
And dumb as dirt
Traitors
they are ONLY in it to protect their criminal system at ALL cost
He’s defended his use of private jets in the past. It’s not a matter of owning one, it’s a matter of using one when you’re pushing an agenda about carbon emissions
Why isn't his jet powered by batteries.
But it wasn’t his private jet it was his wife’s 😂😂😂😂
He should go to Iceland and tell the volcano to quit polluting the air!😮😂
Lol, he says he doesn't own a jet...... but his wife does 😅😂😂
John Kerry: "I PERSONALLY have never owned a private jet" Sounds like specific wording to get around something hitting too close to truth!
Didn’t this guy run for president? And weren’t the voters clear they didn’t want him? How is he in a position of authority? I’m kidding, we all know why.
If they did what they did in 2020 this slug would have been president and started ruining the country a lot sooner! Guess he’s not a quitter even talking to Iran and others about policy when he wasn’t in government, let’s ask a few questions about that, thought it was a violation of a federal law!
He ran against a fellow bonesman, talk about controlling both sides of the shitshow
@@jakeroberts7435 Vs bush
Yea he going to china soon to talk about the green energy deal . Gotta get raw materials to build them here I thought pResident Biden said they where gonna be made in America😮
It's a big club and you ain't in it! ~ George Carlin
Nothing ever happens to the people who are financially responsible for the mess we're in .Nothing. They laugh at us !
Second amendment is just for times like this.
Wonder how many people lost big $$$ during 911 fiasco, and the '08 crash.
@@garyzimmer8061 Not enough apparently since were repeating history at this point.
They don't REPRESENT us. They RULE us.
At some point we the people are gonna have to demand justice or prosecution of these criminals and traitors .
How can a career politician own a jet? It's time to put into law anyone seeking any political seat should have a minimum of 5-10 years as ceo or owner of a successful private business. We need true businessman running this country.
Managed to say he doesn't own a private Jet however didn't say he actually travelled by one typical politician. No wonder we don't trust them
He upgraded from a G4 to a G5.Its a "Lease" with a "Private Company" that the government "Rents" to fly these climate clowns around..
The G5 costs taxpayers about $10,000 per hour to "Rent".
You’re dealing with a snake right there and you’re not gonna get anything done with him he’s gonna lie to you right to your face..
Exactly! He is sickening...
And why?...because he knows he can. Nothing is ever done to these criminals. But if you or I tried to pull what any of them have, we'd be locked up faster than a granny on the 6th of January.
Looking down 90%of the time. Can’t be trusted
He's part of the swamp.
Pull the plug 😊
Kerry seems like one of those strange creatures that existed before the first extinction event.
He looks and sounds like something distantly related to us, but somehow fundamentally different.
@mesolithicman164
Stick to criticising him for his terrible ideas and not because of the way he looks. You just make yourself look no better than a bully and someone who uses the tactics of the left
@@JackSmith-kp2vs
Thanks, but I'll say what I think without any nannying nonsense from you.
You conduct yourself like Mitch McConnell if you want, nobody cares about your opinion.
He said under oath his family does not own any private jets😂
Poor Mr Kerry got called out on his hypocrisy
He sold his private jet to a hedge fund last year. He owned a Gulfstream 4 otherwise known as a G4. It was probably a sale in the mid to high 20 millions. It would burn maybe 600 gallons per hour at cruise and would weigh about 60,000 lb. Now he flys around in US government 757s or 737s which are converted airliners burning thousands of gallons per hour. All about forcing we peasants to go green while he stays black.
well said😊
Excellent response. Thank you. Sounds like we needed you there to refute his testimony.
You just listed what literally every politician does, but then added "forcing people to go green", which most politicians certainly _do NOT_ do.
I'd vote for him for that reason alone, and I've never heard about him before today. We need more green politicians and less of these backwards Conservatives.
@@strangerinastrangeland3613you might be the dumbest poster in this thread. Congrats. 🎉🎉🎉
Once you go plack you never go back...so they say.

"when WE THE PEOPLE learn of all the truth , about what has happened behind our backs for over a century... the majority of them will not be able to cope with it"
Career Politician, "Grifter" someone posted. Too True. Washington at all levels needs "Term Limits". The Glutony of Self Serving with little or no results Americans have grown more than tired of.
Private jet or taxpayer funded jet? John Kerry grifted into marriage and government.
Guess that takes a certain amount of talent. But if I was him, I would most regret my daughter marrying an iranian
Rep. Cory Mills is a warrior for the American people! THANK YOU SIR!

WE'RE ALL TIRED OF THESE TOXIC HYPOCRITICAL INDIVIDUALS, THEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER ASAP
The Swift Boat captain, lest we forget. It's my theory that the more one lies, the more they retreat within themselves. And that demonic force that used the fear, lust, greed, or envy to inspire the lie incrementally moves to the forefront. Eventually the person they once were is so suppressed that when you look them in the eyes they barely look human any more. That's how I see these people.
Someone can play Kerry the video of himself talking about the need for himself to fly on his private jet to Davos and other places for all of these climate summits.
The war on our energy is a war against us,We the People.
Sen. Kerry Thank you for Coming I hope it wasn't to Problematic for your Operational Team and Your Private Jet to get here! Mr. Mills A True Legend...

Neither would you. No one knows your name

@@JD-rz5lxI’m sure Kerry appreciates you running defense for him.
yet there's footage of him coming off jets, lol
John Kerry, an unelected official, flies around the world in his private jet meeting with Kings and Queens and other heads of state. He stays in the finest hotels in the world with the best food and drink money can buy and YOU pay for all of it. What does he do there? He talks about the weather.
Wow , I know a weather scientist form China, he emigrated here , and we anly talk about the weather when we go fishing.
Lying is a required competency for politicians
Mr. Kerry appears to be very uncomfortable when his feet are held to the fire. He's squirming like someone sitting on an ant hill.
When the day arrives when Kerry needs to account for his fakery, he will falter in his lies and treachery and will be charged and found guilty for crimes against humanity.
Cory Mills is the guy you want on your team.
Thanks Cory for stepping up, we all are tired of Kerry.
I wonder if Cher ever sees him and cries as she remembers her son Rocky.
Mr. Kerry, if you're wife owned a private jet then by law it's half yours Skelitor
Who CARES!??? Go bash trans people!!
I'm sure it was owned by some LLC shell company so he has legal deniability
That would be 'Lurch".
Don't you realize it's just a stupid throw away line?

Someone tell Kerry about video conferences.
Can't get, ahem, shall we say "local women" with video conferences.

Anybody that knows this guy going back to Vietnam and that he was a Lieutenant on a swift boat and he was in Vietnam all for about 10 minutes to take pictures then you got Purple Heart for a scratch on his finger they know exactly what he is
He also a consort of demons.....i.e. his trips to Antarctica

Kerry Is twisting the whole Question to cover his ass of antie USA and his War against American oil Co. and the fact He has a swelled head of his private Jet Travels
@@paulkeitz7215 well if u vote for people who would fund the IRS, the IRS makes back tax dollars from the rich so u dont have to pay as much
His family has been rich for at least a century. He didn't make his own money.
@@rorycannon7295The IRS doesn't go after the rich; they go after the middle class.
John Kerry might not own a private jet, but he certainly caught using them often
He used tax payer dollars to build a yacht in a foreign country that would have kept 100 Maine boat builders busy for a year and then hid it in R.I. to avoid Ma. taxes.
Was Kerry born a liar?
Clone of Biden.
No he just changes his position a lot. That's why he lost in 2004
No, he is just a democrat, it there very DNA, It's all about the Democrat liberal progressive's Ideology, is a lie and they are all liars.
Yes
"I dont own a private jet, PLEASE LET ME FINISH!, oh my wife has one"...Did you use that jet,"I might have". WHAT A BLEEPING JOKE
"I don't agree with your facts". I wonder if that statement would work in a courtroom, Mr. former ADA. It amazes me that former lawyers have the least understanding of the differences between facts and opinions.
You are unfamiliar with the term Disputed Facts?
@@templebrown7179 It's not Undisputed when you say exactly what you are asked about.

STOOOOPPPP already with all this drama and DEFUND this lunatic you are questioning! Just DO IT!
Rep. Mills said it very, very well..
Arrest him. These bs show hearings are ludicrous.

@@TheHubeef Right, all of them are holding the criminals accountable.
I remember Al Gore buying a multi million dollar mansion on the California coast after claiming that the state would be in the ocean in a few years and it's still a lucrative market to sell crisis after destruction of falsehoods because extremists cash in on panic. Hillary Clinton said it best "never let a good crisis go to waste"😂
I believe that it is Rahm Emmanuel who coined that phrase.
Barack, the Saint of Martha's Vineyard comes to mind...TWO costal homes. The Vineyard and Hawaii.
Think Hillary got that from her friend Saul Aulinsky, who wrote Rules for Radicals, a book she did a post-grad thesis on.
Sal Lewinsky rules for radicals number 4 I believe never let a crisis go to waste . It is the lefts handbook
Remember Al said both CA and FL would be COMPLETELY UNDERWATER 10 years ago!!!
Finally members of Congress is getting wise to this guy and his game plan
Money.we have to put America first Kerry....
when Kerry said he did not own a private jet, and then says later , oh my wife has one. ANd then answers questions like "I might have been on the jet" Like he did not use it. DUDE, your family owns a jet and you tell everyone to walk.
Who CARES about a private jet?? Just dumb republicans putting on a show!! GOP is in a race to see who's the rudest and most obnoxious!!
Where is he telling people to walk instead of fly?
@@aaronhunyadyif you haven't YET discovered that the traitor against his own military members during the Vietnam War, aka John Kerry, is a do as I say, not as I do liberal hypocrite, you haven't been paying attention.
@@aaronhunyady
He is consistently saying we all need to make sacrifices. Everyone needs to make sacrifices to bring down the carbon footprint. Yet his family owns and USES their private jet for traveling.
Do I really have to explain the hypocrisy out for you? This is the perfect “do as I say, not as I do” scenario.
@@aaronhunyady are you kidding. He is the global warming cooling climate change bs guy. Unelected Are you serious
He would tell you he needs his jet to do his job, right after he demands wood burning pizza ovens be banned. You don't need those.
Kerry: it’s my wife’s private jet, so it’s ok. But everyone else, they need to fly commercial.
How do you know Kerry is lying? His mouth is moving.
REP. Cory Mills (R-F)
What a bunch of BS This John Kerry's just full of it isn't he !!
Has been from years back. Never changes his stupidity. See right thru his bs.
Is John Kerry the guy who in Vietnam got a paper cut and got a purple heart?
If you goggle map these factories in China that make these panels, you will see the manufacturing area littered with pollution all around these plants because they don't have government mandating them out of business.
My step Dad tought me when men talk and talk and talk and there's no action to back him up walk away. Politicians all they do is have hearings and hearings and on and on and nothing gets done tax payers taxes wasted 🤔 just making the Government bigger that's all
Can someone please tell Lantern Jaw to quit lizard licking? It's grossing everyone out.
It's about time someone is calling him out. We need EVERYONE to join the fight, the fight for America..... Look what happened to Germany, they are chopping down their own forest......
Very true. Time to put western democratic economies first
These hearings are useless if there's no accountability
I tell you what, I love these guys out of Florida . Great Reps
Just when you thought that Lurch had already reached the pinnacle of being disgusting, he outdoes even his own heretofore low standing.
Please don't insult Lurch. Kerry is a California raisin puppet.
Defending hypocrisy is so telling.
Kerry is an utter embarrassment and I truly wish he wasn’t a veteran. He brings shame and pain to other veterans with his outrageous behavior.
FYI, The company building solar panel in Vietnam is actually a china own company. China is also looking for cheaper labors in Cambodia.
Lol, nobody needs to bother fact checking you because American companies are moving jobs China "stole" into Vietnam, another Communist country. Now you may take your moral "outrage" and go confess to Jesus
Wow who would have thunk it.
@@jackwhite3947 The Americans did. They took the "American" jobs that China "stole" and gave them to a Liberal Democracy firmly subscribed to Free World Values. This Liberal Democracy is known as Vietnam, i.e., America's new best friend. As a result, in these maneuvers to win the New Cold War designed to shore up America's leadership, better known as high school cheerleadership jealous with rage against Chinese progress, America was able to tell a straight story with a straight face when it claimed that this New Cold War was to combat Communism and Authoritarianism, both of which Vietnam is not, because, once again, Vietnam is a Liberal Democracy who views Free World Values with fawning eyes. O.K. That made sense if it made sense to you.
He’s just gonna play that off like he doesn’t know anything about it. He knows everything about it the numbers and everything. He knows how it works. He knows that it’s a direct conflict with the American economy that we’re getting the raw materials and everything the same people who make them that the same people we owe money to which is the Chinese government😂
What do we say about Ford building in Mexico, Chevy too! They are actually cheaper in Mexico. Tesla's new factory in Monterey, Mexico. I think some States are giving tax credits for Battery and panel builders to come. Is that Socialism I wonder.
Yeah. And I have 37 solar panels. Costs $75,000, it's financed at $345 a month and guess what. I just had a $304 monthly energy bill. During warmer months. I will not benefit from these panels unless they were paid off. Never again will I do this
This guy got a purple heart for a self inflicted wound.
Operational Team and private jet to get here.... BASED!
Thank God we are asking these questions!
