So the State Department was asked: is John Kerry lying? Answer: no, he is a war hero. I am not making this up

"QUESTION: -- can you specifically ask if the comments that President Putin made in which he called the Secretary a liar, if that came up or if that something that’s just water under the bridge now?
MS. PSAKI: Well, let me say on that, I’m happy to check what is possible to share from that conversation. But let me say on the specific comments, since you gave me the opportunity, that Secretary Kerry is, as you all know, a decorated combat veteran".
