“In response to the Brussels bombing from Republicans we’ve gotten series of things,” Dickerson said, “more talk about banning Muslim immigrants, talk about surveilling Muslim neighborhoods and also waterboarding. As you deal with people overseas, does that seem circus of campaigning or is there any way which that rhetoric has any affect overseas?”

“Everywhere I go, every leader I meet, they ask about what is happening in America,” Kerry replied. “They cannot believe it. I think it is fair to say that they’re shocked, they don’t know where it’s taking the United States of America. It upsets people’s sense of equilibrium about our steadyings and reliability. To some degree I must say to you some of the questions the way they are posed to me clear to me what’s happening is an embarrassment to our country.”
