Kerry's Mentor: Black Panther And Phony Vietnam Vet, Al Hubbard Various | Composite
Kerry was asked yesterday about Hubbard and when he ended his friendship with him

Kerry said that he has had no contact with Hubbard since that week the info about his service came out

+++++++

Where did he deny this? Do you have a source?

The very latest that Kerry would have learned that Hubbard was a fraud was immediately after his Meet The Press appearance alongside Hubbard, which was on April 18, 1971.

He then had the reported "confrontation" with Hubbard, in July 1971. Even then you have to wonder, what took him so long?

Where did he deny this? Do you have a source?

Kerry was asked the question at yesterday's news briefing ..

Some reporter asked him the question and Kerry said he hasn't seen Hubbard since that week and that he hasn't had any contact with him since then

Actually .. I was surprised that was one of the first questions asked him

Kerry Says Credibility Not Damaged By Former Comrade's Lie

An excerpt:

Kerry said he hasn't spoken to Hubbard since the week of April 19, 1971, "and everybody was disappointed by what they learned back in 1971. To his credit, [Hubbard] did serve his nation. He had simply exaggerated his particular position. But nobody knew it at the time, and those things happen."

Now the bombshell:

But as CNSNews.com previously reported, Hubbard had done more than just exaggerate his rank in the Air Force. CBS News reporter William Overend, a writer for the network's anchorman Walter Cronkite in 1971, investigated Hubbard's war claims even further and discovered that there was no record of Hubbard having ever served in Vietnam. In addition, Hubbard was not shot down as he alleged and did not receive a Purple Heart for injuries sustained during battle.
