Kerry Angrily Spars With Fox’s Chris Wallace: ‘You Like To Ask Questions, But You Don’t Like To Get Answers!’ 07/20/2014
After months of shutting Fox News out of his Sunday show appearances, a downed airliner in Ukraine and an ongoing Israeli invasion of Gaza compelled Secretary of State John Kerry to finally appear on “Fox News Sunday”
A frustrated Kerry relentlessly castigated Fox’s Chris Wallace for continuing to ask questions while the Secretary of State was in the middle of answering. “You like to ask questions, but you don’t like to get answers!” he charged petulantly, before refusing to address any more questions from Wallace until he had finished his original response.
The outburst came on the heels of a testy exchange over President Obama’s so-far tepid reaction the the shootdown of a Malaysian passenger jet over eastern Ukraine by Russia or Russian-backed separatists fighting in the region.
Visibly annoyed over Wallace’s continued pressing, Kerry could no longer hold in his disdain for Fox News after Wallace asked about tougher sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program.
“I know you and others don’t ever want to give the Obama administration credit for almost anything,” he charged bitterly, “but the fact is this is the first administration to get a [nuclear] rollback in ten years.”
Kerry went on for some time, finally prompting Wallace to attempt a follow-up question on whether Iran continues work on its nuclar centrifuges. That didn’t sit well with the secretary.
“No no no, Chris, you like to ask questions, but you don’t like to get answers!” Kerry exclaimed. “Let me answer! Let me answer! Let me finish my answer!”
“Chris, I don’t care how many questions you ask, I’m gonna finish my answer,” America’s top diplomat continued, prompting a wan smile from Wallace.

“Shut up” Kerry explained.
Kerry loves his monologues and they are so dull and dry and self-applauding and predictable.
Rope-a-dope always gets the unprepared.
Iran’s just stringing Kerry along. We’ll get to November and—oooops, guess what? Either they collapse because Iran has achieved what it needs to develop a nuclear weapon, or they need more time because things look so “hopeful”, and Kerry agrees.
Actually, it was Wallace to put Brainless John Kerry in HIS place. Kerry got his rump kicked royally.
Not really; It's a tied and true technique that all "progressives" learned at the Clinton School of Transparency.
If asked a tough question, change the subject. Or say, "Bush did the same thing." If that doesn't work, there's always... filibuster! Keep talking incoherently until the host can't stand it and tries to move on.
Personally I prefer if the host lets them.
If the viewing audience has an average IQ over 100, they will see through the charade. And the senseless answer played endlessly later is amusing documentation of the technique.
If the viewing audience has an average IQ of under 70, they are viewing a different channel anyway!
A traitor as POTUS and a traitor as SOS courtesy of the Democrat party. Have a nice day.
The only reason Obama made him SOS is because he’s a traitor. I’ll bet anything he asked Jane Fonda to head the VA, that’s the kind of slimebag we have as POTUS.
What will Kerry have to say when Iran soon detonates their first nuke? Obama of course will give it scant mention and then be off to another fund raiser. The US is the laughing stock of tyrants everywhere with these clowns in charge.
If kerry can’t take the pressure from Chris wallace he has no business being secretary of state. Wallace should have kept interrupting and asking questions. Just talk over kerry’s BS. Kerry never answers any questions. Just spews nonsense.
There was just no end to his filibuster on Meet the Depressed this morning — it was a monotone monologue of the worst sort and no one interrupted him.
I think they all took advantage of the opportunity to go get coffee and go to the bathroom and answer all their emails.
Perhaps it's a Follow The Money thing. Kerry's wife/keeper may have crossed Obama's palm with moolah and there may be other cases too.
Yep. It wouldn't be so bad if it were an actual data dump, but its a litany of lies.
When two arrogant as-holes like Kerry and Wallace bump wits, they get a verbal figure eight.
