Meanwhile, Fox News Outnumbered joined the backlash against Kerry, with panelist Tomi Lahren explaining that Kerry s defensive somebody like me statement means that he thinks he is better than the average American and that he can do what he pleases. The rest of us little people should make sure that we re offsetting our car and making sure that we re canceling pipelines, making sure that we re ridding this country of thousands of high paying jobs in the name of climate change, Lahren said. But people like him, that s the only option they have, to fly private or be on a yacht or any of these rich celebrities that do all the same things and then still worship at the altar of the almighty climate change yet again. Is this surprising to anyone? Because it certainly is not surprising to me.

John Kerry, the U.S. special presidential envoy for climate under President Biden’s administration who consistently sounds the alarm on the dangers of global warming, took a private jet to Iceland in 2019 to accept an environmental award.
The climate czar took a private jet to receive the Arctic Circle Prize for his leadership on climate change, Fox News reported on Wednesday. An interview obtained by the outlet found Kerry defending his climate-unfriendly mode of transportation, asserting that private flight remained “the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle.”
When confronted on the matter by Icelandic reporter Jóhann Bjarni Kolbeinsson, Kerry appealed to offsetting his carbon output and highlighted the other environmental efforts he has made in years past including the negotiation of the Paris Accords, which President Biden rejoined upon taking office.
