Kerry: Trump rhetoric is dividing our country
The Hill ^ | June 28, 2018 | Morgan Gstalter

Former Secretary of state (John Kerry) said Wednesday in Colorado that (President Trump's rhetoric) is dividing the country.

Interviewer Andrea Mitchell, speaking to Kerry at the Aspen Ideas Festival, referenced Trump’s use of the words “infest” and “invade” when referring to undocumented immigration.

"You cannot build the consensus you need in our country," Kerry said of Trump's language, according to (The Aspen Times.) "The increased polarization obviously increases populism, nationalism."

"He is distorting the truth when he says MS-13 is coming over here when in fact, people are coming here to run away from MS-13," Kerry said.

#54: "of Genghis Khan,"

Remember the way John Kerry said this? Smart ass Kerry had to be a real wisenheimer: "Jenjis Khan".

"Jenjis" John Kerry was a real jackass from the moment of conception.

"He is distorting the truth when he says MS-13 is coming over here when in fact, people are coming here to run away from MS-13," Kerry said.

FBI data from 2009 show between 8,000 and 10,000 MS-13 criminals in our country illegally. That number obviously rose under Obama, but the usurper did not allow any FBI updates to that estimate, so we don't know how many there are today.

If we wanted to help law-abiding immigrants, we would completely shut down illegal immigration and deport every single illegal so that no MS-13 or other illegal gangbangers could stay. Then we would permit legal immigration at the rate and for the individuals approved by our elected Congress.

"..."He is distorting the truth when he says MS-13 is coming over here when in fact, people are coming here to run away from MS-13," Kerry said...."

...... Hmmm .... I'm pretty sure that the MS-13 gang aka Mara Salvatrucha .... Is an American construct originating in the "Rampart" area of Los Angeles in the 80's to guard Salvadoran Immigrants ..... and grew later into a Trans-National organized crime ring aligned with the Mexican Mafia.

.... So, that said Mr. Kerry, how could you be fleeing MS-13 if you are migrating to their Home Turf?

> Well, I got to spend time with some Swift Boat guys who served with him, and they told me all I needed to know...

I was transferred from the swift boat base in QuiNhon to the swift boat base in CatLo where Kerry served and arrived there 3 or 4 weeks after he departed. I never met him, but the guys there told me horror stories about him.

Is he the same John Kerry who goes to foreign countries and emboldens the enemies of the US and undercuts our nation’s policies? Thought so.

Dems block streets to protest the inauguration of a duly elected President with whom they disagree,try to get electors to revolt in Electoral College,foment hatred and rebellion constantly in wild rhetoric, stage dangerous incitements called “humor” including a bloody severed Trump head model and this is all okay but Trump stating his own side is called dividing America. Really?

> Hey Kerry!!!
FIRST show everybody your DD214....
THEN I’ll MAYBE listen
to what you have to say....

Kerry probably does have a DD214, but that only shows that he was in Vietnam (for a whole 3 months). It doesn’t say anything as to his character and the fact that the other guys that served with him could not stand him.

“He is distorting the truth when he says MS-13 is coming over here when in fact, people are coming here to run away from MS-13,” Kerry said.-—————

Merry is speaking a partial lie.

Expand your thinking and speak yo any prison guard, warden, or anybody in between and you will learn that one of the biggest problems in the prison system is gangs, and MS 13 is the worst of all.

Don’t take my word though. Seek out that info for yourself.

Is Kerry trying to deny that MS-13 is illegally in this country? Then he's a liar.

A liar? Really?

True enough.

On the right we will have the patriots, America lovers, honest law abiding people, hard working, Godly, taxpaying constitutionalists, etc.

On the left we will have the America haters, seditionists, crooks, liars, cheats, rapists, abusers of government power, sexual freaks, pedophiles, commies, Satanists, racists, fake Cherokees, fake blacks, cross dressers and other troublemakers and malcontents.

Oh Wait!

Trump didn’t do that - Leftists did it to themselves.

Thanks for serving, BuffaloJack. I met up with a bunch of them outside Walter Reed with the DC Chapter back at one of the Gathering Of Eagles (maybe 2007?)

They told me how he showed up at one of their reunions wearing a bomber jacket expecting to be the center of attention...but the general consensus (and you could clearly hear it their voices) was that he was a pompous, no-load, douchebag.

A special kudos to those men who could have just sat on their butts in their comfortable homes and let that POS get elected, but...they didn’t.

I am sure they would have preferred not to have to become well known in that fashion, but they did it. I think they saved us from the Horror Show of a President Kerry. Men like them (and you) have the respect and gratitude of many around this country, and not just for your service, but for that torpedoing of that scummy POS.

I would lay the blame squarely
on the media. The crazies don’t
want to hear the truth, and
thrive on venomous hatred.
