In a tense House hearing, Rep Thomas Massie (R-TN) demolished John Kerry for his radical views on the climate. He started his attack by forcing Kerry to admit he had no training as a scientist, which prompted the massive meltdown that went viral on social media.
For context, Massie is one of the most conservative members of Congress and has often made headlines for his strong values. Unlike Kerry, Massie received a degree from MIT and was a successful businessman before entering politics.
In any case, the November 18, 2024, obliteration began with Massie mocking Kerry’s education. He asked, “Isn’t it true? Do you have a science degree from Yale or a Bachelor of Arts degree? Is it a political science degree?” When the Democrat was forced to admit Massie was right, the representative redoubled his attack. He said, “So how do you get a Bachelor of Arts in a science?”
Backpedaling, John Kerry said that he had achieved a liberal arts degree when Massie fired back. The Tennessee Republican said, ” Okay, so it’s not really science. So I think it’s somewhat appropriate that somebody with a pseudo-science degree is here, pushing Pseudo-science in front of our committee today.”
Jumping into the details, Thomas Massie used climate data to demolish the former secretary of state. He asked, ” Are you aware that 350 [parts per million] is the level that scientists have said is dangerous? Are you aware that since mammals have walked the planet, the average has been over 1000 parts per million?”
Embarrassed by his inability to answer, John Kerry tried to end the hearing prematurely. After Kerry said this “wasn’t a serious conversation,” he attempted to end the conversation prematurely. However, Rep. Massie fired back, ” Your testimony is not serious.”
When a clip of the dramatic conversation was posted to X, conservatives flocked to the comments to mock Kerry. One such comment read, “Kerry resorts to “this is not a serious conversation” because he has nothing to say. And needs notes from his staffer to answer simple questions. This is a nobody who made his way into politics through marriage into the Heinz family high-fructose corn syrup dynasty and has no clue how to respond to MIT graduate Thomas Massie. This guy is one of the first grifters that needs to go, and to account for all his wasteful trips abroad and frivolous spending.”

Reacting to Massie’s impressive performance, some users thanked him for refusing to back down. One of the replies read, “@RepThomasMassie is the absolute most intelligent person in congress, bar none. This guy has a degree from MIT, and is the most environmentally friendly person in congress. He will school these fear mongers. He is an amazing patriot and I wish we had 218 congresspeople just like him.”
