Democrats, including then-Senator (now Secretary of State)&nbsp;John Kerry and Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, charged that the radical, <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/archive.adl.org\/PresRele\/ASInt_13\/5615_13.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">antisemitic<\/a> Zelaya had been removed in a coup, and supported his efforts to return to power.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama administration embraced Zelaya (<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052702303737704575147622272424344.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">literally<\/a>), attempting to intervene and punishing Hondurans by <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052970204731804574382872711784150.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">suspending<\/a> visa services.

When&nbsp;the Law Library of Congress issued a finding that Zelaya\u2019s removal had been constitutional, Kerry tried to have that finding <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2009\/10\/29\/kerry-wants-law-library-report-on-honduras-retracted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">reversed<\/a>.
