Boris Johnson and John Kerry Face US State Department Press Corps

During Johnson's first joint press conference with American equivalent John Kerry, reporters ripped into the foreign secretary for previous remarks about US politics, his qualifications for his new position and Brexit itself.

I think John Kerry comes across as a fine, mature and intelligent gentleman

[aaugoaa]

That was nice of John Kerry to make Boris feel welcome and worthy, i also think Boris is worthy, and anyone who tries to belittle him, may end up with egg on their face.

Britain is now a laughing stock because of this clown.

[KatchouroBlade]

Despite his gaffes and unorthodox relationship with the truth I'd rather have BoJo representing Britain on the world stage than that automaton Donald Tusk and Juncker the Drunker.  He'll tackle world diplomacy just like he did Maurizio Gaudino and that small Japanese Boy.

Regardless of my views on his politics it's only a fool that would risk treating Boris as a fool.

I don't know what Teresa May was thinking appointing this embarrassment to Foreign Secretary

[MrTunes]

Boris dealt with that very well. I like the fact Boris has a likeable character. Its quite clear that more and more people are getting fed up of the PC brigade, in the UK and US... Boris has a good balance....

[aaugoaa]

That silly reporter, we Brits laugh so much harder at your election candidates, Trump and Clinton.

[lozzatolli]

I'm confused as to why Sky chose to crop and splice two pieces of film together in this clip, Boris Johnson is replying to someone else's question in this clip... rather than creating news, news should probably just stick to reporting it.

[roisinska]

public ignorance is astounding, as proved by the majority of comments here.

[Spartac]

Ridiculous man... I thought the British people were clever....

[TheGypsyLondon]

And God bless the United States of America! Yeeee harrrr! Howdy y'all... 🇺🇲👍✌️☮️🕊️🤠

In the subtitles it says boris has a long history of marijuana lol sort it out boris

[palomapepe]

Great questions from the US press here - they can see straight through #BorisJohnsonLies

[VelcroKittie]

Boris actually is Father Dougal McGuire

[ethanmallett]

God help us its between trump and Hillary in the us and may and corbyn in the UK. The end is nigh

[Walperion_Music]

1:53 - Give him a break, he was being funny !
Boris is a comedian! A lovable cuddly comedian.
Boris hosted comedy panel shows!

[GillesBourget]

Maybe or maybe not, but could it maybe be that the US gov had this orchestrated; to show that Boris is now playing in the big leagues... Look at Sec. of State Kerry's face, it's almost as if he knows what's coming, it's like he wants to ask those questions himself... PM May's appointment of Mr. Johnson as Foreign Secretary was ridiculous; he has too much to answer for...This is called diplomacy... #HappyBrexit!

[revengeoftheultaterrestria]

I know he is smart but, I think he is going to be a nightmare. I wish him luck tho, we need him to perform. They wanted out so now make the most of it.

Boris is worried about tax payers. Awww. I am touched ...
