Speaking before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability, Kerry addressed questions about a plane that belonged to his wife&#8217;s family before being sold last year.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) pressed Kerry on whether he owned a private jet and if he had used it during his time in the Biden administration. Waltz emphasized that this was not a partisan attack but a concern about hypocrisy when asking Americans to make sacrifices for the common good.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;When we are asking Americans to make serious sacrifices as we transition for the common good,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And if your family and or yourself are flying around on private jets, that smacks of hypocrisy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kerry responded by stating that he had used the private jet &#8220;possibly once&#8221; since his appointment as Biden&#8217;s climate envoy and before the aircraft was sold by his wife&#8217;s family. When pressed further, Kerry firmly stated, &#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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also criticized the idea of using a private jet to travel from the State Department to the hearing location on Capitol Hill, calling it &#8220;pretty stupid.&#8221; The State Department confirmed that the plane in question had been sold due to environmental concerns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<h3>State Department spokesperson confirms the sale<\/h3>\n<p>In February, a State Department spokesperson, Whitney Smith, confirmed that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-kerry-sold-his-wifes-family-jet-he-should-have-destroyed-it-like-a-cash-for-clunkers-car\/\" title=\"John Kerry Sold His Wife\u2019s Family Jet.
