John Kerry Gets Caught With Hot Mike Ripping On Israel.. Fox News Host Calls Him Out

  Secretary of State John Kerry was captured by an open mic making comments about Israel that more than likely he would not have wanted broadcast. The situation took place between segments of the Fox News Sunday program. Kerry was recorded mocking the claim made by Israel that they were engaged in a “pinpoint operation”.

While reports show that there have been civilian casualties on both sides of the conflict, Kerry’s statement seems to imply that he has his doubts about Israel’s claims to be successfully avoiding civilian casualties.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace used the accidentally recorded statement made by Secretary of State Kerry to put the Secretary in the hot seat. Referring to it sarcastically as an “extraordinary moment of diplomacy,” Wallace asked Secretary of State Kerry if he felt that the Israelis were going too far in their assault.

 

Kerry’s response was measured and practiced, a far cry from what was heard over the open mic. Some would argue that it is in moments like these when the administration’s true feelings toward their allies come to the fore. It has been suggested that a better understanding of the administration’s viewpoint of its allies would provide a clear picture of what its intentions in world events are.
