John Kerry, who knows something about having his war record attacked, savages Donald Trump

by Brett Logiurato

Secretary of State John Kerry came to the defense late Saturday night of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), whose combat record had come under fire earlier in the day by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Kerry served in the US Senate with McCain for nearly 30 years before replacing Hillary Clinton as secretary of state near the start of President Barack Obama's second term.

"I have known John McCain for more than 30 years. We've had our share of disagreements and still do today. But one thing I know is beyond debate is that John McCain is a hero, a man of grit and guts and character personified," Kerry said in the statement...

..."If anyone doesn't know that John McCain is a war hero, it only proves they know nothing about war and even less about heroism," Kerry said....

[timlilje]

The fact that Kerry comes to his aid tells me everything I want to know!

[smoothsailing]

Yep, that was my thought as well.

Doesn’t everyone wish they could have John Kerry as a character reference? 8^)

[Fiddlstix]

Kerry and McCain. Two peas in a pod.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Oh boy, Trump’s in trouble now! Didn’t he know that Kerry served in ‘Nam? I mean, he was the guy that Rambo was based on.

John Kerry doesn’t negotiate. He just gives you the long face until you compromise. ( /Norris )

[HandyDandy]

Why the long face, Jhon?

[dennisw]

Didn’t this idiot crash his bike and break a leg last month?...... And negotiate a lethal treaty with Iran?
Anyways this is a fine endorsement for Donald Trump.

[silverleaf]

I was wondering how long it would take Mr. “ I served in Vietnam for the requisite 120 days and have a Purple Heart and rice in my ass to prove it “ to chime in.

[Cats Pajamas]

John Kerry served in Vietnam? Holy crap. Is he the one that got a Purple Heart for some rice shrapnel in his leg or butt?

[Raycpa]

Kerry is endorsing Trump now!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Does Kerry have a single scratch to show for his 3 purple hearts? No, because he faked them to get the hell out of the military long before his service was up. And now he talks about being a war hero.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

see how Senator Kerry was even better at screwing the U.S. service members than he was when he was attacking their war record with his lies that helped the NV communist enemy

"...if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."-J.F. Kerry

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.

John Kerry and the VVAW--Hanoi's American Puppets?
"Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman."

Neither one is a “Hero.” They both served. That’s it. I am tired of people obfuscating their treason with, at best, questionable “service.” Real heroes never claim to be heroes. They can also handle criticism of their current actions without falling back on their 40 plus years old service.

Trump is right. Getting captured and making it to release does not in and of itself = hero. Heroism is something else entirely and it cheapens/diminishes the real thing when clowns like these backstop each other with false claims of heroism.

Here's a picture of John Feckin' Kerry throwing his medals over the WH fence.

Oh, wait ...

[hal ogen]

john kjerry??? Isn’t he th one who has a “3PH” WDC license plate on one of his many vehicles? Of course, he wrote him self up for those purloined medals. Also, didn’t he trow someone else’s medals over the WH fence in protest of the VN war? What a complete ass...and traitor.

[animal172]

Was John Kerry in Vietnam? I surely did not know that. /sar

[SpaceBar]

Trump is going to crap this traitor’s bones out in the form of a pellet.

[oh8eleven]

Real heroes never claim to be heroes.
Most combat vets will tell you the real heros are the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice.
