GOP Rep.: What was Kerry doing on ‘taxpayer-funded world tour?’

A member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs is demanding the Biden administration shed some light on special envoy John Kerry’s meetings with his Chinese counterpart, the State Department staff of 45 he maintains and his “taxpayer funded world climate tour.”

In a letter sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) questioned Kerry’s April meeting with China, arguing that the communist country has proven itself to be adversarial and took aim at President Biden’s green czar for his recent comments that China’s human rights abuses should not interfere with a climate deal.

“I write to express my concern with Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) John Kerry’s taxpayer funded world climate tour, and, especially, his latest meeting with China’s climate envoy, Xie Zhenhua,” Burchett wrote.

“The Chinese Communist Party is the United States’ foremost geopolitical rival, and the timing of this summit with its sole focus on climate signals to Beijing that this issue is the Biden Administration’s primary bilateral priority, as opposed to human rights or security issues.

“Fortunately, you have stated that climate concessions will not be traded for other CCP geopolitical goals. Nonetheless, Sec. Kerry’s meeting and related jet-setting sends the wrong message and hands the CCP a public relations victory,” he wrote.

  1. Kerry is a traitor to this country and has been for years. I for the life of me can not figure out how we got all the corrupt criminal people back from the Obama era put back in government.
