Lurch just can't keep from shaking hands with the hemisphere's dirtiest dictator.

In the annals of diplomatic idiocy, John Kerry is right up there with some of the worst of them.

At a United Nations global warming conference in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, Biden's global warming czar, John Kerry, did some gladhanding with Venezuela's Marxist narco-dictator, Nicolás Maduro, successor to the late Hugo Chávez.

Here's the video seen on Twitter:

Kerry was caught on video briefly meeting Maduro, Venezuela’s former president, at the COP27 U.N. climate meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. The brief but friendly encounter raised eyebrows on social media because Maduro has been charged by the U.S. government with narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine and possession of deadly weapons.

In 2020, the State Department — which Kerry led under President Obama from 2013 to 2017 — offered a reward of up to $15 million for any information leading to the arrest and capture of Maduro.

Kerry’s brief meeting appeared friendly and cordial. However, State Department spokesman Ned Price downplayed the encounter by saying Maduro interrupted Kerry during the meeting.

"He briefly spoke to Special Envoy Kerry during COP27," Price said. "This was not… planned or substantive in any way."

Kerry, the Vietnam War fraud (faked wounds to get Purple Hearts), faked throwing them over fence at DC war protest but really kept them, a real Blumenthal-type creep.

I hate Hugo Chavez for ruining Venezuela, just like I hate that chubby despot Maduro.

"It's also pretty gross, given that Maduro did the old third-world song-and-dance blaming "capitalism" for the world's pollution and called for huge transfers of Western assets to his hellhole country as reparations."
