Stephen Colbert: Guest John Kerry Wishes White House Aides Didn't Have To Resist



While Trump is troubled by a White House aides' 'resistance' op-ed, former Secretary of State and 'Every Day is Extra' author John Kerry is troubled that there is a need for one.




John Kerry And John McCain's Friendship Was A Lesson In Bipartisanship



Former Secretary of State and 'Every Day is Extra' author John Kerry remembers his friend John McCain, and takes us back to a time when Democrats and Republicans worked together.

I was so heartbroken when Kerry lost the presidency. I thought he would have made an excellent president. He is such a diplomat and a statesman.

I remember sitting a table away from him at a restaurant here in Boston (before I moved to SF and NYC) about 28-29 years ago. He was a very handsome man.

I actually felt physically sick for days. After the horrific events of 9/11 and the inexplicable invasion of Iraq, I was positive that the country would reject the Bush*-Cheney agenda. I don't know what I would have done back then without the support of DU.

And that is very cool that you encountered him in person! He would have made a great president and I still believe he would have won, if not for SoS Ken Blackwell in Ohio.
