<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-picks-john-kerry-for-climate-czar-tom-cotton-slams-kerry-with-perfect-tweet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate czar</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-kerry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a> lashed out on Thursday at a Republican lawmaker who made a jest about flying on private jets.</p>
<p>During a hearing held by <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?529303-1/john-kerry-testifies-house-subcommittee-climate-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a House subcommittee</a>, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) began a line of inquiry about Chinese solar panels by addressing the witness, Kerry, with a quip. &#8220;I hope it wasn&#8217;t too problematic for your operational team and your private jet to get here,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Toward the end of their exchange, Kerry returned to the comment about private jets, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-defends-world-leaders-who-fly-private-while-pushing-climate-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a sore topic</a> for him and other world leaders pushing a campaign against global warming.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just don&#8217;t agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet,&#8221; Kerry said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t own a private jet. I don&#8217;t own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet. And obviously it&#8217;s pretty stupid to talk about coming in a private jet from the State Department up here. Honestly, if that&#8217;s where you want to go, go there.&#8221;</p>

<p>Kerry faced follow-up questions from Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL), who reminded the witness he was under oath as the lawmaker <a href="https://www.congress.gov/help/congressional-record">entered into the record</a> a Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerry-family-private-jet-sold-shortly-after-accusations-climate-hypocrisy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from February that said Kerry&#8217;s family sold their private jet, a Gulfstream GIV-SP, to a New York based-hedge fund after it <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/john-kerrys-family-private-jet-emitted-300-metric-tons-carbon-biden-took-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for how many trips it took and its estimated hundreds of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions since the start of the Biden administration.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">REP. WALTZ: &quot;You just testified under oath that you never owned a private jet&#8230;&quot;</p>
<p>CLIMATE ENVOY JOHN KERRY: &quot;My wife owned a plane. [&#8230;] I do not fly on a private jet. I fly commercially&#8230;&quot;</p>
<p>REP. WALTZ: &quot;Have you flown a private jet in a personal or official capacity since… <a href="https://t.co/4aIzab8Yev">pic.twitter.com/4aIzab8Yev</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Breaking911 (@Breaking911) <a href="https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1679551437452312576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 13, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Asked if he stood by his testimony, Kerry said that his wife, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-john-kerrys-family-owns-private-jet-despite-his-role-combating-fossil-fuels-in-biden-admin-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heinz ketchup fortune heiress Teresa Heinz</a>, &#8220;owned a plane.&#8221; Kerry said he mainly takes commercial flights, but did acknowledge taking some <a href="https://www.army.mil/article/36056/milair_gives_another_option_to_travel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">military flights</a> and a trip on a private jet &#8220;possibly once&#8221; in a personal or official capacity since taking on the role as climate czar roughly <a href="https://www.state.gov/biographies/john-kerry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two and a half years ago</a>.</p>
<p>Pushing back on the suggestion that Americans would see hypocrisy that undercuts the fight against climate change, Kerry added, &#8220;We&#8217;re not asking Americans not to fly. You&#8217;re trying to create an unequal thing. We&#8217;re not saying, &#8216;Don&#8217;t fly.'&#8221; Kerry also said he would be &#8220;happy&#8221; to provide Congress with records about his official, taxpayer-funded travel.</p>
