Former Secretary of State John Kerry went on the road to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden in Siouxland, Iowa ahead of the early Democratic caucuses — but he didn’t expect THIS response from liberal voters.
Kerry declared support for Biden late last year and said he “is ready to put us on track in America and win back the soul of the United States,” according to Siouxland News.
The former secretary of state didn’t do much talking in his recent appearance, however. It was a mob of angry liberals that stole the show — and left Kerry speechless.
Members of the so-called Jewish Voice for Peace Action, a far-left pro-Palestine group, erupted the event with chants.
“End Israeli injustice!” the mob screamed, holding protest banners.
Shortly after, a counter chant from Biden supporters broke out, yelling: “Let’s go Joe!”
But the anti-Israeli protesters won the upper hand, drowning out the crowd of Biden voters and silencing Kerry.
Kerry tried to raise his hands to calm the crowd, but was ignored.
Some Biden supporters looked ready to confront the agitators but ultimately calmer heads prevailed on both sides. After some moments, the agitators were escorted out of the event. After the flash mob was deescalated, a select few Biden supporters asked the party crashers to stay and open dialogue, but they all refused, storming out.
“Listen,” Kerry said, “we are a Democracy and by the way everybody, I welcome people’s ability to be able to demonstrate, that’s a great virtue,” before receiving some applause.
“Nobody worked harder than I did, I think you know, to bring peace to a troubled place.
“I’m sorry that people feel fit just to shout and then leave because there’s a real discussion to be had here.”
2020, it seems, is off to a bad start for Kerry, who didn’t necessarily have the best 2019.
Last year, President Donald Trump accused Kerry of violating the Logan Act after he was caught “coaching” Iranian officials on how to negotiate with the White House.
As for the anti-Israeli agitators, they claim that they’re not finished with the Democrats, Siouxland News wrote.
“We are going to be hitting people like Joe Biden, we are going to be going to Corey Booker, anyone who is in Iowa this week will probably see us at some point,” said one demonstrator Moe Elesherdini.
FLASHBACK: John Kerry heading to jail!? (NO ONE will see this coming!)
