Just three years ago, the Obama administration super genius in charge of the State Department was engaged in another attempt to pat himself on the back:

Politifact, apparently ignoring the red flag word “declared,” found the “chemical weapons have been removed from Syria” claim to be “mostly true.” Recent horrors, however, have convinced them to retract that:

“We don’t know key details about the reported chemical attack in Syria on April 4, 2017, but it raises two clear possibilities: Either Syria never fully complied with its 2013 promise to reveal all of its chemical weapons; or it did, but then converted otherwise non-lethal chemicals to military uses,” the site wrote.

“One way or another, subsequent events have proved Kerry wrong,” PolitiFact concluded.

Don’t worry though, I’m totally sure Kerry got this right:

I have a feeling in coming years we’re going to be reading “subsequent events have proved Kerry wrong” a lot in updates from the so-called “fact checkers.”
