A Republican congressman attempts to mock John Kerry’s political science degree, and it backfires

Massie, a critic of climate change science, used his time discussing this crucial issue to try to attack Kerry for statements he’s made critical of President Donald Trump and his approach to environmental policy. In particular, Kerry called Trump’s secret panel to designed to challenge climate change science a “kangaroo committee,” a phrase that apparently irked Massie.

…“Isn’t it true you have a science degree from Yale?” said Massie.

“Bachelor of arts degree,” replied Kerry, who clarified that it was in political science.

…“OK,” said Massie — apparently thinking he had the former secretary cornered. “So it’s not really science. So I think it’s somewhat appropriate that someone with a pseudo-science degree is here pushing pseudo-science in front of our committee today.”

Kerry exhaled.

Are you serious?!” he demanded. “I mean this is really a serious happening here?”
