On Sunday, a report came out by NBC News that former Secretary of State John Kerry “was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid ‘the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party – down whole.’” Kerry took to Twitter to viciously condemn it as “f***ing…false.”
The NBC report claimed Kerry was overheard saying “Sanders [is] taking down the Democratic Party,” and he’d run for President to save the party if Sanders won.
Now, he’s lashing out at the report, writing on Twitter, “As I told the reporter, I am absolutely not running for President. Any report otherwise is f***ing (and categorically) false. I’ve been proud to campaign with my good friend Joe Biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat Trump, and make an outstanding president.”
Kerry quickly deleted the tweet for a more timid, less expletive-laced response.
