Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday paid a shiva call to the parents of Max Steinberg, a Los Angeles native IDF soldier who was killed Sunday in Gaza, at the Crowne Palza hotel in Jerusalem.
“It’s just a huge statement about a young guy finding a place that he was so passionate about, and giving his all, putting himself on the line,” Kerry told the Steinbergs. “It’s an amazing story.”
“How’s your day?” Kerry asked them as he sat down, according to The Jewish Journal. “How’s your day?” Evie Steinberg asked back. “My day’s going better than yours,” he said.
“I am so honored to be here. I am in awe of your son, truly,” Kerry told the family. “And I think you know, I served in the military, and I have great respect for anybody who… especially puts themself willingly in harm’s way. And as an American, we’re so proud of the affection that he felt, just the love he felt, and the roots he found in this country.”
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, accompanying Kerry, added, “There’s no greater manifestion of the bond between our countries than an American citizen putting himself in harm’s way to defend Israel.”
According to the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, “Kerry entered and exited the room swiftly, surrounded by men in black and refusing to take any questions from press.”
What!?
Just another classless, incompetent Democrat. What an embarrassment on the International stage.
TACT, Kerry, T-A-C-T.
” I served in the military”
Glad he cleared that up. There might be few people left that don’t know he was in Vietnam.
>>Kerry told the family. “And I think you know, I served in the military,
Please tell me this is satire. “Sorry to hear about your dead kid, but let’s talk about ME!”
What's that? Different from a phone call?
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?
How was your day? I can tell him how my day was. Having a traitor as President and a traitor as Secretary of state really SUCKS.
He almost said it: “I was in Vietnam”.
This putz is as bad as - or worse than - Biden.
Naturally, he uses this tragic event to remind them that he served in the military.
How’s your day ?
No way, are you kidding? Kerry was in Vietnam?
Another member of the faculty at the Joe Biden school of Decorum.
And we missed the chance to have this man as our president. Well, well.
I doubt it. He'd have said something about it by now.
Wow... He's taking narcissism lessons from the Grand Kenyan.
Obama is really, really, really bad, but Kerry in 2004.....??!! That was a close one. Man, are we in debt to the Swift Boaters!!
