[Dennis Donovan]

He self-deleted his tweet, but here's a screenshot:



Even HE says it's fucking false.

He made a new tweet w/o the F-bomb:

1. More Sanders BS

[comradebillyboy]

2. MSNBC surely screwed the pooch on that report.

[MH1]

18. Yup. But people giving credibility to something so fucking stupid, helped them along

I appreciate that I don't have to delete my f-bomb here.

[highplainsdem]

3. The tweet's been deleted.

[Dennis Donovan]

5. I posted a screenshot.

[LAS14]

40. It was tweeted again. This time without the 'fucking'. NT

[Gothmog]

4. I was coming to post this

[highplainsdem]

6. It's been deleted. I've been watching Kerry's account to see if he posts a substitution,

probably one without the F bomb.

8. Kerry just reposted the tweet minus the F bomb.

7. He self-deleted it

...but I put up a screenshot. Sounds like he might be super-annoyed with NBC and their reporters.

[highplainsdem]

9. See reply 8. He reposted it, with a small change.

[Dennis Donovan]

11. See my OP - I'd already updated it with the new link

[Gothmog]

14. I saw

I need to figure out how to do screen shots

Thank you for capturing this.

[Cha]

10. Ohhhh.. Kerry said the F word!!!! lol

[Dennis Donovan]

12. If he's dropping F bombs in tweets, he's gotta be pissed off

...probably at Jonathan Allen of NBC News.

[C_U_L8R]

13. John does not suffer ratfuckers.

Especially the 'independent' variety.

[Cha]

16. Yeah, I know the feeling. oh it was tool, jonathan allen?

he should be scorned and censured.

[Dennis Donovan]

19. Soon as I saw it was NBC News breaking the story, I hoped it wasn't one of their "road warriors"

...the younger journalists they have fanned out all over Iowa. Turns out it was Allen, who's certainly not new to the game:

28. Jonathan Allen is more of a gossip than reporter.

I hope NBC suspends him.

[Cha]

30. Fucked up gossip turns out..

29. How does it feel, jonathan allen, to be the

purveyor of fucked up gossip

24. Who does he think he is? California Peggy?

We have standards for F-bombs.

[highplainsdem]

15. LOL. The original tweet seems to be all over Twitter.

[liskddksil]

17. Be like Beto and stand by your f-bombs!

[elleng]

20. spreading like wildfire, trying to extinguish it.

[IronLionZion]

21. John Fucking Kerry

[aggiesal]

22. Getting sick of this flip-flop Bull $h1t ...

Kerry was for the Iraq resolution because it had a timeline for withdrawal.
After it came back from the House with the timeline removed, he voted against it.

Meanwhile, GW McIdiot was against the Iraq resolution because it had a timeline
for withdrawal, but didn't veto it, because in the final resolution, timeline was removed.

This showed me the power of the RW echo chamber, and it's still working!

[mountain grammy]

23. He served in combat while bone spurs hid.

Fuck yeah! He can say what he wants.

[FloridaBlues]

25. Perhaps Allen didn't hear the entire conversation but that didn't stop him from saying it.

Don't blame Kerry for being pissed off. If he wanted to run he would have already been a candidate.

[PatSeg]

35. That's what I'm thinking,

that Allen heard part of a conversation and misread what Kerry was saying. I can't imagine Kerry seriously jumping into the race at this late date, but I also can't imagine Allen making the whole thing up.

[FloridaBlues]

39. Half ass reporting from Allen he should know better!

[Dennis Donovan]

38. I believe that has to be the case

There's zero reason for Kerry to step in, especially in front of Biden. Allen's take just isn't plausible.

[Tiggeroshii]

26. . .

No limit to the amount I love john kerry

[scheming daemons]

42. Kerry is for Biden and thinks Sanders would be a disaster as nominee

Still no limit?

[Tiggeroshii]

43. None

Unlike some I don't necessarily base how much I like or dislike somebody on who they endorse for president.

[Tiggeroshii]

44. Oh and to add

There's no limit to which I love Biden, either!! I just happen to be supporting Bernie because I think he is the right candidate.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. Huh. Somehow I totally missed the rumor that he was supposed to be running.

Darn.

[Tweedy]

31. Knew that when the story surfaced

Somebody, ahem GOP?, is simply making up total trash these days.

All this president's liars don't even bother to try and clothe their whoppers in the garments of reality.

[TygrBright]

32. Gosh, you'd think he was a former soldier or something... n/t

[James48]

33. Kerry isn't saying he didn't say it.

He is only saying that the reporter misinterpreted what he heard: look at Kerry’s actual reaction:


**
“ He told NBC News later on Sunday that, "This is a complete and total misinterpretation based on overhearing only one side of a phone conversation. A friend who watches too much cable called me wondering whether I’d ever jump into the race late in the game if Democrats were choosing an unelectable nominee. I listed all the reasons I could not possibly do that and would not — and will not under any circumstances — do that."

**

I will tell you this. If Sanders takes Iowa, he is a valid contender. Even if he takes second, he is a valid contender.

And if the Democratic Party once again changes rules or stacks the deck intentionally to defeat Sanders, there will be hell to pay. The country won’t take that.

Let fair elections and caucuses be run, and delegates be awarded fairly. No superdelegate alterations to burn Bernie, or else the country is beyond redemption.


We did it your way in 2016, held our noses and supported Hillary, We’re not going to compromise to go with a loser again.

41. The problem is the reporter reported it adding Kerry's denial at the end rather than dropping it al

The reporter wanted the sensational story even though it made no sense. Kerry has ran before and built the organization needed. He also has worked pretty hard for Biden.

It is true that many things he says about Biden could be said of him. As a foreign policy person knowing everyone, Kerry is likely better. As a speaker and debater, he is better. He never voted for a bankruptcy bill and spoke out in the Senate complaining about the Thomas hearings. So, less baggage.

However, one thing he has spoken about is how no one could call Biden elitist and his Biden connects well to many people we lost and might gain back. I personally, do not think Kerry's background should have been a negative because he exemplifies almost all character traits that people supposedly want. However, in this race, he has opted to use his own good name to help get some who might otherwise not give Biden a close look, to give him a chance (in the primary season)

there are limits to that. Personally there is no one I admire or respect more, but I am still undecided. I did weigh his well made arguments, but an not convinced that a president with fewer ties, but great vision and ability to create a national security team could not be just as good.

36. Who cares? Joe said passing the ACA was a BFD!
