Kerry to France: Donโt Blame Joe, He Didnโt Know
6 Oct 2021
BUCK: We actually have this sound bite here of John Kerry basically saying, โWell, you canโt blame Joe Biden. He doesnโt know anything.โ
KERRY: President Biden asked me about it, and I told him, and expressed, uhhโฆ
FRENCHMAN: You told Joe Biden that it was not the rightโฆ?
KERRY: He asked me! He said, โWhatโs the situation?โ and I explained exactly, uhhโฆ He wasโฆ He had not been aware of that. He liverly โ literally had not been aware of what had transpired, and I donโt want to go into the details of it. But suffice it to say that, uhhh, that the president, uh, uhhhโฆ my president โ is very committed to, uh โ to, uhh, strengthening the relationship and making sure that this is a small event of the past and moving on to the much more important future.
BUCK: Clay, I think that the president should know about a nuclear deal involving the U.S., the U.K., and Australia. I think that should be kind of higher on the list than say the latest Hunter Biden art sale.
CLAY: Well, whatโs craziest, Buck, that actually makes total sense to me, though. The incompetence of John Kerry in terms of describing Joe Biden, I think most people out there listening are like, โYeah, I can totally buy that he is so not aware of whatโs going on that itโs possible a deal this big could be announced and that he could have totally bungled this process.
Not by making a bad decision, but by being so unaware of whatโs going on that whoever is running the White House is making that decision.โ Thatโs a little bit scary, right? Because France, whatever you think about our relationship with France, it was considered so far outside the diplomatic mainstream that they pulled their ambassador from the country which almost never happens.
BUCK: Thatโs a big deal in diplomatic circles.
CLAY: Yes.
BUCK: Itโs kind of thing that you would think would be averted by the adults in the room of the Biden administration foreign policy team. But we all know thatโs kind of like saying that Joe Bidenโs gonna unite the country. Itโs become an unfunny joke at this point.
CLAY: Or solve covid.
BUCK: Or solve covid, even less true situation.
