President Jimmy Carter passed at the age of 100, which led President Joe Biden to take a brief break from his vacation to give live remarks.
Breaking down in tears, President Joe Biden spoke fondly of Carter from a stage set up his vacation villa in St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. His written remarks provided by his staff can be read at this link.
Biden also ordered an official state funeral to be held in Washington D.C. at a time unstated, but which will be set before Biden leaves office.
President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “President Jimmy Carter is dead at 100 years of age. While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for. He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect. He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed. He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office. Warmest condolences from Melania and I to his wonderful family!”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski said on social media, “President Jimmy Carter will be remembered for his service to our nation and his post-presidency dedication to humanitarian efforts across the globe. He led a remarkable life and left a legacy of peace. My prayers are with President Carter’s family and loved ones.”
Sen. Dan Sullivan wrote, “Regardless of our significant political differences about Alaska and the critical importance of a strong U.S. military, I appreciated President Carter’s devotion to faith, family, service to others and Middle East peace. I also have deep respect for his service to our country in the U.S. Navy where he was involved in the development of our country’s first nuclear submarine. Julie and I are praying for his family during this time of mourning.”
Congressman-elect Nick Begich said, “While our political perspectives were quite different, President Carter dedicated his post-presidential service to the pursuit of peace and free democratic elections in the developing world, both causes deeply worthy of pursuit. He had a true heart for humanity, and reminded us that we can passionately disagree while also sincerely caring for one another.”
Rep. Mary Peltola has not issued any public statements since Dec. 10 and as of late Sunday afternoon, had not broken her silence.
Peltola can just shut up. We don’t need to hear from her.
Agreed. She needs to be packing her bags, not running her lips.
Biden took time out of his Caribbean vacation to memorialize Jimmy Carter? So, that would be a medically proven idiot praising a complete moron about how great they were? And the public is going to buy it?
.
Only in America.
Now that, from : A proven- – –
Would be a fitting closing statement on either headstone😅
Good point Jose. His “breaking down in tears” was probably from squinting to read the teleprompter after they gave him whatever drugs he needed to get out of bed to make this speech. Like usual the speech was all about him instead of Carter.
They don’t give the keys to a boomer to a moron. He may have been on the wrong side of a lot of things while in office, but a moron he wasn’t. He was a good man, just in the wrong job.
Back to the big peanut house in the sky.
Maybe Biden can pick up the shells.
🤣
He was never given the”keys to a boomer” he resigned his commission. Before ever commanding, to go home after his dad passed. He took they keys to the family peanut farm at the time. Boomers didn’t exist yet when he pulled the plug they came later. He quit around the time Cautious entered service.. An attack boat, not aboomer
Democrats don’t have any heros remaining. They all know Joe Biden is a POS. So, that’s why the media is so hung up on feckless Jimmy Carter. The last of their heroes just croaked…….just as the Democrat Party is croaking.
Lakreesha,
there never were any heroes for the Democrats. They were just useful idiots and tools to advance the Left’s agenda towards communism. Look at the line-up of losers:
The Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, UpChuck Schumer, Pelosi, Sotomayor, etc.
A rogue’s gallery of America haters, all padding their wallets from government money and communist friends who made their money in the free markets.
Losers.
The first time I voted it was for Carter , then Reagan second term Carter drove us down , Reagan lifted us up , I learned my lesson. Just like Brandon has done and Trump will do … again
Even Billy Beer was gross.
I don’t remember any dog coms from Dan Scavino Jr lately.
Jimmy Carter’s best friend forever was Yassar Arafat. You can tell a lot about a person by who their friends are.
Homer Simpson said it best. History’s greatest monster.
It’s sad to see how many people bought the con of him being a good person.
Jimminy Cricket would have been a better president.
Mickey Mouse = Bill Clinton.
Elmer Fudd = Hussein Obama.
Goofy = Biden.
.
Quite a line-up by the Democrats. See y’all at the funeral.
Best choice Carter ever made. He was and is a disgrace.
A great day.
Most here don’t remember the damage he did to our state.
