John Kerry Shocked Over Trump’s Helsinki Remarks: ‘I Don’t Buy His Walk Back for One Second’ (Mediaite)

Former Secretary of State John Kerry lambasted President Donald Trump‘s Helsinki, Finland press conference with Russian President Valdimir Putin, calling it a dangerous show of subservience on the international stage.

“I found it shocking,” he told CBS’ Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation during a Thursday interview. “I found it to be one of the most disgraceful,  remarkable moments of kowtowing to a foreign leader by an American president that anyone has ever witnessed.”

Kerry’s criticism comes just three days after Trump’s summit with Putin, for which he has been bashed by numerous lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and even his friends in the conservative media. Critics say he failed to act from a position of authority, publicly doubting at the conference whether Russian meddling in the 2016 election had even occurred. While he attempted to reverse that remark more than 24 hours later, Kerry doesn’t trust it.
