A few days before President Trump's inaguration, Sec. State John Kerry was in Vietnam demonstrating once again just how clueless he is - from Bridget Johnson writing at PJ Media:
Kerry Says Repressive Vietnam 'Embracing' Freedom
A day after President Obama made it harder for Cubans fleeing the communist regime to find refuge in the United States, Secretary of State John Kerry was in another communist regime's capital -- lauding the growing economic relationship with Vietnam while giving the country credit for moving forward on human rights issues.
That's despite an Amnesty International report published this summer detailing Vietnam's crackdown on dissidents, democracy activists, bloggers and others, ranging from official harassment to secretive imprisonment and torture.
"Severe restrictions on freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly" persist, the human rights organization notes in their country overview, while media the judiciary, political bodies and religious institutions are under strict state control.

Kerry is a braying ninny. Hopelessly out of touch and determined to stay that way.
