British member of parliament calls John Kerry a 'Sympathizer With Terrorists'
[Free Beacon] A Conservative Member of Parliament lambasted John Kerry, who recently argued that the United Kingdom should remain in the European Union, as "no friend of Britain" and "a sympathizer with terrorists" last week on the floor of the House of Commons.

"The person representing the United States government who has called for us to stay is John Kerry, a former senator, who in the 1980s showed himself to be no friend of the United Kingdom but a sympathiser with the IRA, when he held up a treaty allowing for the deportation of IRA activists from the United States to the United Kingdom, saying that the justice system in Northern Ireland didn’t work effectively," said the Right Hon. Jacob Rees-Mogg, who represents North East Somerset in Parliament.

Rees-Mogg, the son of the late Lord Rees-Mogg, a long-time editor of The Times known for his skeptical attitude towards the European Union, is no stranger to candor. Last week he confessed his ignorance of twerking and Kanye West to an interviewer: "I don’t even know if that is a man or a woman," he said of the rapper. He also claimed not to understand the acronym "WTF."

#8 Kanye West to an interviewer: "I don’t even know if that is a man or a woman,"

And to be fair, the last person married to a cardassian isn't so sure either.
