An LLC partly owned by Kerry sold a jet he traveled in last year

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry lashed out at House
lawmakers during a committee hearing on Thursday over the criticisms of
his use of a private jet that has emitted hundreds of metric tons of
carbon, even as he battles climate change.

"I just don't agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of
one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this
private jet," Kerry said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
"We don't own a private jet. I don't own a private jet. I personally have
never owned a private jet. And obviously it's pretty stupid to talk about
coming in a private jet from the State Department up here. I just
honestly, if that's where you want to go, go."

Kerry, who did not deny traveling on a private jet, was responding to Rep.
Cory Mills, R-Fla., who told Kerry that he hoped "it wasn't too
problematic for your operational team and your private jet to get here."

Kerry has been widely criticized for advocating for drastic climate change
rules while also traveling to events on a private jet that was owned by
Flying Squirrel LLC, a charter company owned by Kerry's wife, Teresa
Heinz-Kerry, and in which Kerry reported owning a more than $1 million
stake on a financial disclosure.

‘CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP’

Fox News Digital exclusively reported last year that the Kerry family jet,
a Gulfstream GIV-SP, made a total of 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours
and emitted an estimated 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon
since President Biden was sworn into office.

A spokesperson for Kerry told Fox News Digital this year that the family
sold the jet to a New York-based hedge fund during the summer of 2022.

Kerry has previously defended his use of private jets to travel. In 2019,
he told Icelandic reporter Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson that he has to "fly
to meet with people and get things done," that he had devoted his life to
fighting climate change and that he offsets his carbon consumption.

Kerry was criticized by conservatives online following his comment in the
hearing, including a tweet from Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., who said, "He
doesn’t own one but he sure does use one!"

Kerry’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from
Fox News Digital.

Obviously semantics on his part . With that said how can the claim
inflation is down to 3 percent but yet we see no price reductions overall
at the supermarkets ?

Kerry has always been a dishonest person! While in the military he lied
about his combat action and the S/S he received!! Every person involved in
the combat stepped forward to call him out as a coward!! Now we are
supposed to believe him??!! PLEASE!!!!??????????
