John Kerry Warns of Revolution if Trump Re-Elected

Former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry warned of revolution if President Trump is reelected and voters believe the election was not fair. Kerry made the remarks Friday morning in a virtual Copenhagen Democracy Summit appearance with former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen who was also the former prime minister of Denmark and Australian reporter Ryan Heath with Politico.

In response to a follow-up question by an observer after Heath asked Kerry about his experience losing the 2004 presidential election and whether he thinks Trump would leave office “in the manner we’ve been accustomed” should he lose in November, Kerry likened the potential unrest in reaction to a Trump victory to the 1770s American Revolution where British colonists waged a war for independence from Great Britain. Kerry also compared the unrest in 2020 to 1968 where the U.S. saw assassinations, riots and the burning of cities across the county.

Kerry’s remarks were first reported by the Washington Examiner:

“If people don’t have adequate access to the ballot, I mean that’s the stuff on which revolutions are built. If you begin to deny people the capacity of your democracy to work, even the Founding Fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, we have an inherent right to challenge that. And I’m worried that increasingly, people are disaffected.”

After praising the George Floyd protests, Kerry said, “We have not a had a year like this in the United States since 1968 when Martin Luther King was assassinated, Bobby Kennedy assassinated and we had major challenges in our streets.”

Kerry also trashed President Trump’s foreign policy which has rolled back Obama policies including the Iran nuclear deal.

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Condemns American Policing System as Racist, Pushes to Defund the Police

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream jumped on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon in 2016 and has lashed out at the Trump Administration over the years.

In 2018, Ben & Jerry’s launched a “Pecan Resist” campaign and released a limited edition ice cream flavor to ‘resist oppression and fight injustice.’

“Ben & Jerry’s feels that it cannot be silent in the face of President Trump’s policies that attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity, climate change, LGBTQ rights, and refugee and immigrant rights – all issues that have been at the core of the company’s social mission for 40 years.” the ice cream company said back in 2018.

On Friday, Ben & Jerry’s condemned the American policing system as racist and called for the police to be defunded.

Make no mistake, by ‘defund the police,’ the left means replace the police with Sharia patrol, Black Panthers, La Raza and other anti-white, anti-Christian social justice enforcers.

Bolton’s New Memoir Claims Trump Said He Didn’t Care if Daesh Returned to Iraq

In a conversation last year, US President Donald Trump allegedly said that he did not care whether Daesh militants made a return to Iraq, according to claims made in former national security adviser John Bolton’s new book “The Room Where It Happened.”

In the memoir, which is due to hit stores on June 23, Bolton recounts a conversation with Trump in May 2019 in which he discussed the US military presence in Iraq, according to the Washington Examiner.

"Why don't we take them [US troops] out? In Syria, we got rid of ISIS," the president allegedly said in the discussion.

Bolton writes in his book: “What I heard next was shocking, but I distinctly remember hearing him say, 'I don't care if ISIS comes back into Iraq.'"

The militant organization, also known as Daesh, lost the last of its territory in Iraq in December 2017 after more than three years of war in the country, according to the Associated Press.

Trump has expressed a desire to bring US troops home from the Middle East throughout his presidency. In October 2019, Trump ordered a withdrawal of all troops from northern Syria. After the US signed a peace deal with the Taliban at the end of February 2020, the president also announced that US forces would begin withdrawing from Afghanistan.

However, Trump has insisted that American troops stay in Iraq, reiterating his position after the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani in a US airstrike near Baghdad International Airport in early January.

Following Soleimani’s assassination, Trump declared that withdrawing the estimated 5,000 US troops stationed in the country would be the “worst thing to happen to Iraq,” the Washington Post reported.

“At some point, we want to get out. But this isn’t the right point,” Trump added.

This is not the only anecdote from Bolton’s book to make headlines recently. A passage in the book alleges that Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping during a June 2019 G20 summit dinner that his chances of reelection could be improved if Beijing increased its agricultural purchases from American farmers.

Trump has refuted the claims made in Bolton’s book and even went so far as to call the former adviser a “sick puppy” on Thursday.

“Bolton’s book, which is getting terrible reviews, is a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad. Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction. Just trying to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is!” Trump tweeted.
