John Kerry Defends Code Pink Again

'When I was 27 years old, I had feelings very similar to that protester'

September 3, 2013

Code Pink protestors interrupted Secretary of State John Kerry during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on military intervention in Syria Tuesday afternoon. Once again, Kerry defended the group stating:

JOHN KERRY: Can I just say, before I -- (inaudible) -- you know the first time I testified before this committee, when I was 27 years old, I had feelings very similar to that protester.

And I would just say that is exactly why it is so important that we are all here having this debate, talking about these things before the country and that the Congress itself will act representing the American people. And I think we all can respect those who have a different point of view, and we do.
