The United States special presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry, angrily pushed back on allegations Thursday that he owned a private jet, saying that he personally never owned a private aircraft in response to questioning about the plane that belonged to his wife’s family before they sold it last year.
“When we are asking Americans to make serious sacrifices as we transition for the common good," he added."And if your family and or yourself are flying around on private jets, that smacks of hypocrisy.” Pressed further about the aircraft, Kerry replied tersely, “We don't own a private jet. I don't own a private jet; I, personally, have never owned a private jet.”
Rep. @michaelgwaltz: "Have you flown a private jet in a personal or official capacity since you've taken this position?"“And obviously, it's pretty stupid to talk about coming in a private jet from the State Department up here,” he said, in reference to the hearing’s location on Capitol Hill just several miles away.
