Kerry told employees gathered at the department that his generation “came along in the 1960s and we decided to rock the boat, and we did.”
Recalling the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the ending of the Vietnam War, Kerry said all of that happened “because people like you and others held on to the hope, believed in the possibilities of change, and went out and fought for it.” …

To see how idiotic and fake Kerry's protests were, visit
