Kerry said, “I don’t know how to interpret [what Iran’s supreme leader said this past weekend] at this point in time, except to take it at face value, that that’s his policy. But I do know that often comments are made publicly and things can evolve that are different. If it is the policy, it’s very disturbing, it’s very troubling.”
Why is this suddenly ‘disturbing’ or ‘troubling’ to Kerry now? Previously, Kerry dismissed similar comments from Khamenei, as reported by DC Clothesline :
Concerns were heightened among conservatives when Secretary Kerry recently hailed progress with the Tehran government, despite Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei telling a cheering crowd Tehran that Iran would never give in to any of the Western demands. When the crowd started shouting, “Death to America,” the Ayatollah responded: “Of course yes, death to America, because America is the original source of this pressure” as reported by the Times of Israel on March 21, 2015.
What raised both Republican and Democrat eyebrows was the White House response to Khamenei’s call for the destruction of the United States. As CNN reported (via The Weekly Standard), the White House just sees the “Death to America” talk as “intended for a domestic political audience.”
So the deadly sentiment was OK in March because it was intended for Iranian locals, but now it is ‘disturbing’.
Here’s the Ayatollah reassuring the crowd in Tehran that the nuclear deal has not altered his hatred for America or Israel:

I didn’t know kerry had enough brains to know wht befuddled by Iran would mean. They lie, like most of obama’s cronnies, and they don’t tell the truth, and cheat on everything. kerry doesn’t have the brain power to realize that, AND he IS Secretary of State? Where did he grown up?
Daaa
He;s joking, right? Iran has been saying that for years. He himself and his boss hate this nation also.
Just another bid idiout like Obama
And you don’t think Kerry is anti-American??
Kerry is a buffoon that can’t think for himself, he has been lost every since Ted Kennedy died, as he told him what say and when to say it.
God, is that man that stupid? And to think, he was almost President…
He is a befuddled moron
You should have went to Hollywood, John, you are a good actor
