Kerry denies owning a private jet--he just uses them

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, does not own a Gulfstream G-IV private jet [tail number N57HJ] and the N57 does not stand for the number of Heinz varieties of products Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry's company sells. It's just a coincidence. And also, Kerry did not marry Teresa Heinz for her money and he only flies on her private jet because his job to save the planet is important and he needs to get to places to do that.

But in spite of Kerry's heroic efforts to save the planet from warm weather, he still received criticism of his use of a private jet that isn't his, which spews hundreds of metric tons of carbon, in his battle over climate change. 

This really got John's goat and he didn't hold back his ire just as his goat didn't hold back its flatulence.

"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 on Thursday. "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's non-ownership of a private jet has fueled controversy in the past. He did not deny actually traveling on a private jet, he just didn't own it outright as he responded to Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL). 

Mills sarcastically told the man who would save the planet that he hoped "it wasn't too problematic for your operational team and your private jet to get here." He should have added the word 'rented' to his statement, because that makes all the difference in the world.

If the jet you jet around in does not belong to you personally, the metric tons of carbon are not your responsibility and you can point the finger at the Flying Squirrel LLC, the charter company owned by Kerry's rich wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. 

"Blame the Squirrels! Blame the Squirrels!"

Fun Fact: John Kerry owns more than $1,000,000 stake of the charter company.

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.

Sex!? Now that I have your attention let me say that if you enjoy reading my blog, please do me a favor and check out the ads on this page--it's the only compensation I receive for dumpster-diving into the bowels of the internet. There is absolutely no obligation to buy anything [this isn't Communist China or Russia, after all] but by simply clicking on an ad you bring sweet, sweet revenue to my blog and you single-handedly help in the fight against fascism. But sex is still okay, right?

In 2019 Kerry told Icelandic reporter  Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson that in order to save the planet from the snail's pace warming trend that he must "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 somehow, while offering no data to support this claim.

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, so his hypocrisy no longer counts.
