John Kerry blasts Trump for "personal petty politics" and "banana republic behavior"

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/402009-john-kerry-blasts-trumps-decision-to-revoke-brennans-clearance


Former Secretary of State John Kerry blasted President Trump for revoking former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.

Kerry, a frequent Trump critic, accused the president of putting “petty politics ahead of patriotism.”

“This is putting personal petty politics ahead of patriotism and national security, end of story,” Kerry tweeted. “You expect this banana republic behavior in the kind of countries that the State Department warns Americans not to travel to, but not at home in the USA.”

I wonder if any of the producers of the news shows or the cable shows or the shoutycrackerfests have considered having him on to talk about current events? Or is all the news time taken up right now with breathless "he said, she said, oh no she din't" gossip?

Not only that, but what are we missing by being so focused on 'he said, she said'?
