But Kerry said "President Nixon" on multiple occasions. He was not President.
And a "president-elect" is not in a position to run covert missions, such as sending the likes of John Kerry secretly to Cambodia (gads) then, as Monsieur Kerry would have it, lying to the U.S. about this big bad secret.
But just think of the mistrust and loathing the Kerry stirred up in the country every time he told this tale.
What a vile creep.
