John Kerry suggests U.S. could face ‘revolution’ if Trump is re-elected.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — Former Secretary of State John Kerry suggested that if President Trump is re-elected, it could potentially provoke a revolution in the United States. To fuel this potential ‘revolution,’ Kerry expressed that Republicans have a history of denying voting rights to Democratic voters.

“If people don’t have adequate access to the ballot, I mean that’s the stuff on which revolutions are built,” Kerry stated during a virtual appearance at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit. “If you begin to deny people the capacity of your democracy to work, even the Founding Fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, we have an inherent right to challenge that. And I’m worried that increasingly, people are disaffected.”

Kerry has endorsed Joe Biden for President.
