Nobody likes a hypocrite,” Douglas Murray summed it up succinctly in reference to John Kerry in an op-ed in the New York Post. > Kerry raised the issue of his purported private jet himself, dismissing claims that he flies around the world and calling it a “persistent lie.” > “I don’t own a private jet,” Kerry fibbed, parsing his words carefully while engaging in his version of plausible deniability. “I’ve personally never owned a private jet.” > Murray pointed out that Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) noted that the climate Czar’s family sold their private jet in February of this year after accusations of climate hypocrisy, rendering Kerry’s claim far less than truthful.
